None did, back to the old tennis ball for me!

I've noticed that, surprised the dealer/agent hasn't put one on. Mind probably not a parts department stock item unless he is an agricultural dealer

I agree. Yes the issue might well be that the supplying dealer does not have access to a cover (having said that one of their dealerships is Land Rover so you would have thought they might have been able to get one). Anyway what is wrong with a tennis ball…..

Land Rover tow ball covers have "Land Rover" stamped on them, I some how don't see them doing that

I‘m comfortable enough in my Grenadier’yness to have a LR cover on my tow ball if Ineos can’t be bothered to supply one

I have never seen a tow ball with a cover on it.

You don’t get out enough

They obviously don’t grease their balls in Australia !

 

[Wilaspira]

Seems not + they are happy to get sand on them

My tow ball lived under the back seat until it was needed on last couple of vehicles.

An agent branded one would seem a perfect goodie bag item.

That’s why you don’t need a tow ball cover! You can only use those on commercial vehicles in the U.K. but most people go for fixed towball

It is the standard in Australia but for off-road and caravan use there has been a move to articulated hitches.

Yes ive

seen those articulated hitches on utube and they look good. I suppose our nearest equivalent would be the NATO hitches that allow way more articulation than a 50mm ball hitch.

They could provide this towball cover. But perhaps in red. ;-) Would be matching the front grill V-style

Mine came in handy a few weeks back when someone thought backing into my ute was a good idea!

That’s where I was thinking those towball steps might come in handy. For rear end shunts

Just the middle finger would probably be offensive?
