Towing on an A-frame

<< < (3/3)

On that note - I towed the SeriesIII to Tixover on sunday using a friends dual axle braked trailer. Even towing this piece of equipment with our discovery caused outragous stopping distances (like a duck on ice.) I can understand it being more feasible with some of the small Suzukis etc.

If the brakes are up to scratch and properly adjusted on the trailer it shouldn't increase the stoppping distance *that* much. You should actually feel the trailer slowing the tow car. A lot depends on the correct nose weight too.

 i agree with that,
we use a towbouy to recover cars with suspension damage/wheels missing on car rallys & when the brakes are adjusted up it will hapilly lock the wheels up going into roundabouts when its empty & when towing a car you can feel it slowing the tow vehicle down
