I have a sled I pull behind mine when there's the possibility of several beaver or yotes to haul out. Three 50lb beaver and my 150lbs is more than it really wants to do. The sled helps. Just put it on a long enough line that it doesn't pull the back end down, and attach to rack. I pull it close when empty, then extend the line out when I start adding weight. Don't hang the sled up on something, or you're gonna flip! I go SLOW when pulling it. Yeah - you need a trailer hitch - very dangerous to drag stuff from the rear rack.

Of course I can’t get pics to upload. Thank you all for your suggestions and pics. It really helped You can't cheat the mountain pilgrim. Mountain's got its own ways.

Make the lead rope as long as the sled when attached to two points on the sled to give some space -about 5 feet. A double loop around the trailer ball connects it. I have hauled deer, trapping and hunting gear, firewood, loads of animals, and even people for fun. It works great year round. Have fun safely! FRAC LIVES MATTER
