    Not a real in depth question, but I will be towing my quad with a plow between NY and CT. Best to load it front first , the plow will be imposing some resistance or back first so the rear fenders and the Quads ass end are causing the resistance ? I am sure its not a big deal either way, just looking for some opinions.

    Thanks

    Personally I would use a trailer for something like that.
    If you are going to load it in the bed, back it in so the plow facing out back. You are going to have a good amount of weight on your tailgate. some plywood or similar on the floor of the bed should help distribute the load a bit, take some of the stress off the tailgate.

    and Brett makes a good point, how much does all of this weigh? Some of those big quads with some decent tires can be pretty heavy.

    If on a flatbed trailer face it forward.
    You wouldn't want stuff blowing straight into your exhaust either.
    If you are concerned about resistance, you can always tarp it to help
