I don't have one myself but wanted to tell you you can get it for 189$ with free shipping from Eagle machinery.

I'm looking for how much weight it could pull

Rob, here is a video that i made from my experience with one.

I believe if you pulled a lot of weight the cvt belt would slip but, i have not tested or verified that.

A while ago I saw one on a fb page where a guy did the other mods to it to look like a truck engine but I got turned off when someone said it gets hot and also wasnt a fan of it having the motor can hanging off the front...

Thanks Scott, good video, you were right, all the other videos are with the truck upside down.

I'm with you on the motor-can sticking out the back.
