How much weight do you think you could pull on a trolley type system with this motor?

It depends on how fast you want it to pull. The basic equation is energy in = energy out minus efficiencies. I would expect this motor to be able to pull at least 100 lb. laterally at with an RPM of around 1200RPM or thereabouts.

No sure on your question, without load this motor looks good. Unfortunately when I mounted the motor on my bicycle, the motor burnt after 15 min ride. I weigh around 74kg, 4 x 12v7A about 6 kg.

Not sure! Only use this for about 1 to 1.5 pounds. But it should be able to do more.

Oh yes definitely. I've trolled all day and barely used any battery. Your definitely getting your money's worth with this motor. Pulls my 12ft upriver with ease.

I would think so. We bought it to pull our 28 foot camper that weighs ~5,000# dual axle. There also may be a # you can call directly.We actually you tubed this system before we bought it. So maybe try that too.Hope I was somewhat helpful.

I have 4 on a cart & pulled 160 lbs, and 1 on wheelbarrow for 100 lbs. I'm 69 and that's about all I wanted to handle in the yard. Could be a lot more on concrete.

I suggest a 40lb thrust. I use a Coleman air pump with no issues. Good trolling motor battery and charger are also important. As with any trolling motor, don't expect to troll all day or get an extra battery.

I can't say for sure what the weight capacity is. I can tell you that I have had 2gallons of milk plus 6 - 8 plastic grocery bags of assorted items without any problems and would be able to add more easily. I did have some issues trying to move gardening items around in the grass pushing the cart. Pulling was no problem at all because of the bigger wheels in back.

William, I'm 56, but admittedly I primarily attached the ends of this to my tractor to lift a MUCH heavier load - a 16 foot x 18" diameter cedar trunk for my daughter swing "pole"! I can's say for sure you'd be able to, but I believe it is a 7:1 ratio on this which should mean that you are actually pulling / lifting 300#/7, or a little over 40#. Hope this helps!

This is essentially a stationary unit, it has a bar to lift the until & pull with the 2 large wheels but it'll take both hands normally. Your not going to drag it as your using it. The price you pay for a strong motor.

Owner's manual says up to 30 pounds. I think it is powerful enough to move well.

I researched the same question before I purchased mine and couldn't find the answer anywhere. I can tell you that we have pulled three people on the two seater - two weighs 200 lbs each and the third weighs 110 lbs. It worked great and haven't had any problems. Hope this helps!!

Depends on how much junk you have in the boat... and how far you're going to haul it. Big motor..? I wouldn't do it, since the weight would hang quite a bit back on the load. The trailer is stout enough, but I'd be sensible about how much it could handle.

I pull a double axle pleasure boat that weights about 6,000 pounds boat and trailer. I purchased the tenkonsha primus IQ box and have nothing bad to say about it. It gets the job done great for me

The trolley is made up of one long cable so if you tried to attach two together, the pulley would get hung up and strand your pooch out in the middle. Not a good idea.

Plans on the weight on the tires. I have taken 2 trips of over an hour pulling the trailer at 65 - 70 mph and have had no problems. My trailer with boat is pretty light about 850 lbs., i stay under 70.

I'm not sure of the total weight, as I purchased this to convert it to a dust collector for my shop. But just the motor weighs approx. 10/12 pounds.

This is a great machine and would likely handle the load, but if it were me with that size of door, I would go with the 3/4 horse motor.

I wouldn't try to pull anything with this ATV. It's not heavy enough or strong enough to handle a trailer.
