Wonder if anyone on here has heard of a towing device that makes it possible for a Discovery 3 to tow a 7.5t horse lorry safely.
Reason I ask is a friend broke down in his horse lorry on a dual carriageway in the dark on a steep hill - the highways agency people got there first and decided to tow lorry up the hill as it was in a dangerous place. Lorry was loaded with 2 ponies as well so there was a fair amount of weight to haul along. Friend couldn't remember what they used to tow but I was suprised that they pulled it along so easily - I know Landies can tow a hefty weight but I would have thought that would be pushing it to the limits?
