3cx tow bar

[dent]

Thanks guys, good info as always.

 

From a practical perspective it seems straightforward, from a legal perspective it is a minefield as per bloody usual! A workaround mind be changing the vehicle class to agricultural. I wouldn't be using it in a 'road' capacity and not doing any digging/loading on a public highway so it is hardly a rouse. The justification would have to be you use it in agricultural/forestry capacity in the same way you'd use a telehandler or tractor with front loader.

 

even if you changed the type to ag it would still require plating from jcb to tow

without which would lead you into some serious problems would be no different from towing a trailer thats to big for a pickup and so on plus i bet the plated weight of a 3cx barely covers machine operator and buckets let alone adding a trailer and lets face it if it where the best option the utility companies would be onit
