Mrs Do$h recently planted nearly £10k of yew hedging on the estate where she works. They're using a bowser for watering, and one of the staff was meant to fill up the bowser on Friday. Saturday afternoon she nips over to check and it's bone dry.
Unfortunately all the RTVs and tractors are secured in the workshop over the weekend, and the bowser has a pintle tow hitch. I've only got the removable tow bar.
After a bit of head scratching, Disco3 to the rescue
Those of a sensitive nature (and those who do the H&S thing) may want to look away now:
One shackle on the recovery point, another connecting this to the bowser tow hitch, and all the others to take up the slack. Low range GGS, no problem
And no, none of the towing was on the public highway. Fields only
Now, does anyone know of a pintle type adaptor that will work in place of the removable tow bar I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

You need a hitch receiver loads of 2" options open to you then
The NAS receiver? Top idea I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Nice work
Can recommend the 2" NAS receiver. I have one (RLD's adjustable tow pack uses it) - and it's come in useful for all sorts of options.2020 SDV6 D5 HSE, Carpathian Grey +

I got it all as from Ray - really pleased with it. I pull quite a large (and high) trailer, and with the standard hitch, the nose would be way too low 2020 SDV6 D5 HSE, Carpathian Grey +
