quickly detachable tow bars. Any good?

<< < (4/5) > >>

Hangover:
I had a Scorpion towbar on my previous Range Rover and have now ordered one for my Defender 90,they are very well built and rated to pull about 3.5 tonnes legally,you shouldn't be pulling anything heavier,i have the shackle and reciever which go into the towbar when drop plate is removed and that would pull a Sherman tank.You will only need to buy one once.

I had the W&H Wheelcarriers version on my 90V8-CSW (they build for Scorpion)
It was fine but a bit noisy, later versions have a supplementary bolt (with a nut welded in) to brace it & remove the play that gave rise to the noise

Tim ('MuddyWeb')bought mine when I sold the 90



Andy has a Scorpion on his Discovery

Jas278:
Enough room to get your hand up there? How small are your hands? I found it nearly impossible to remove the damn thing and get a spanner on it. Me and my mate spent an hour trying to put 1 nut back on and gave up. /.................................you only need to hold the nut in place it is nt difficult, if you cant do it ,take the bumper off once and weld the nuts to the crossmember, hey presto a pice of cake, but realy they are accesible.

Bush Tucker Man:
I know it's not the same thing, but I've got the height adjustable  Dixon-Bate on my Defender.
It's not as effective as a plough as the normal drop-plate, but still somewhat restricts the 'departure angle'

muddyjames:
I looked into the dixon bate one and the cheapest I could find was £90. It seems alot for a plough and as I have 2 sliders already I dont really want a 3rd!

I do like the dixon bate alot though as there are plenty of bolt holes and I like lots on bolts in tow hitches.

It is a pitty the piece with holes for a series or a 90 doesnt bolt onto the disco tow bar but there we are.

Southdown tow bars are about £300. double what the scorpion racing ones are.
