Thanks Skip,

On a short distance tow, usually there is enough drag in the sled being towed at low speed
so as descending most grades is not a problem. In a situation where braking would be required,
just put a rider on the sled being towed to apply braking as needed.

A hitch and tow bar system works well if you don't have anyone with you.
If the track won't turn due to a broken chain case or a seized bearing on the track shaft,
an old car hood turned upside down can be used.

This system works great; http://www.buddytow.com/movies/buddytow-video.wmv
