Running the recovery buisness i use a 3.5tonne max gross trailer and with a disco/110 on it you know its there.........but as its braked there isnt much of a problem........untill you hit the big climbs  :cry:

Yes, quite feasible.
Yet another reason why Police forces use Rangies & Discoverys in the motorways. cars & vans can be  dragged away no matter how crumpled they are, or even if they're on the roof.
I've moved about 25tons with mine (Disco on road & 6x4 tanker on grass verge)
Sure it pulled me sideways as the strap tensioned, but it got the truck off at the first attempt



--- Quote from: "What happened was......." ---So legally its 3.5, does it manage that sort of weight ok?
Cheers

They do, but, not very quickly you can be assured of that  :lol:
For safety brakes, steering & suspension all need to be top-notch
