Re: Towing standard trailers

Still like to know the opinion on using the body mounts as braces, however... I've read every post about snowploughs and found this page: https://pinzforum.kiruna.de/viewtopic.php?t=5142 which has some pretty engineering on it.

I run a caravan park in the UK and I need to shift the 6 tonne static caravans round the park every winter at very low speeds. I also need to move 3.5T trailers of stone around t...
