Very true, and the same principle that artics work on, however many towbars are only rated at 150kg nose weight....

 

250kg on my Dixon-Bate 5 position adjustable :biggrin:

If I have to pull 3.5 tonnes from one end of the uk to the other without effort there is only one vehicle we use Landcruiser Amazon.

 

Gotta be the ultimate 4x4 tow motor TBH.:thumbup1:

Another thing that hasn't been mentioned is weight tranfer.By using an adjustable height tow bar you can transfer say 500kg on to the back axle of the towing vehicle to give traction and stability.

So your quite happy to double the rated capacity?

 

What about the hitch on the trailer?

The recommended nose weight for the trailer hitch is 150kg.

 

Obviously on a public road you have to be sensible but off road I will raise the hitch if I think I need to - Getting stuck would be embarassing :001_tt2:
