NATO hitch

(1/3) > >>

Range Rover Blues:
Looks like now is the time to pick up a spare NATO hitch, there's half a dozen on E-Bay starting at less than a tenner!

I mention this because I know there was some problem getting hold of them recently, I have seen S/H ones change hands for £75 or more!

Paul:
I've got one in the shed, I'm only looking for £20 for it. :wink:

alaric:
Paul,

I might be interested - if it is a combination ball/nato style, and rated on the ball for more than 2.5 tonnes.

A lot of the combi style that I've seen are not rated to pull much on the ball.

Alaric.

Paul:
It's just the standard nato hitch, No ball.

Range Rover Blues:
I don't think the combination style hitches are positive enough for a NATO hitch trailer, so better avoided unless of course you only want one for recovery.  You can also use it as a high-lift jacking point.

I think I read that the combination hitches are Brazilian Army spec, rather than NATO but could be wrong.
