I've got a heavy and long snowmobile (Skidoo Expedition SE 1200; specs say 710 lbs and 128")
I'm worried about busting the tailgate if I just drive up a ramp into the back of the Avy. I was thinking about maybe doing some sort of support bar into the hitch, and further support it with some straps that go up to the grab handles.

Do I need all that? will I just end up busting the grab handles?
 
What year do you have?

Early years had recall on tailgate cables for breaking....

Also grab handle is plastic I believe and designed only for Hand hold IMO
 
it is a 2005. I hauled older and smaller sleds hanging out on the tailgate in the past, but this is a bit more of a machine than those were.
