They do and I do. With an N1 no type approval needed. I guess for an M1 if there was an accident when towing then if not a type approved tow bar may be an issue.

Na..bare foot the carpet flooring and carpet mats should mean comfortable feet, no need for slippers. Incidentally I get shouted at, regularly, by the wife for wearing slippers around the farm yard.. Will you be wearing your carpet slippers whilst off roading
Especially when towing horses
Well they are more comfortable than wooden clogs, so I'd say you have the high moral ground
All my wellies leak anyway. And slippers dry quickly if they go in the washing machine and tumble dryerWell they are more comfortable than wooden clogs, so I'd say you have the high moral ground
Unless your name is TravisIt's easier to load the horses into a float and then tow the float
i know we should stick together but I'm with your wife on that one!
No, same here. I was towing using ball & pintle on an L405. Was advised to stick to ball only to be UK compliant even though JLR built the vehicle for me with a removable drop plate. It does tow more smoothly with a ball. I’m thinking that the Grenadier will handle 3500kg at least as well as the RR.
To be fair (to me) in reality it is only the stable yard I go in my slippers. She still mutters "slippers vs 0.5t horse with steel shoes, I'm not taking you to A&E"
One of ours stepped on my foot even with steel slippers on it was still off to A&E
did the horse recover ok?
no it doesn't. some Oz members were looking into the Redarc as a post delivery add-on
All UK / EU cars wont have one as electric brakes aren’t legal here. Not sure about the Aussie / US ones.
Yes he was ok
Yes over run inertia brakes only here. The modern ones aren’t that bad if they are well maintained. I tow trailers up to 3.5 ton regularly and they stop pretty well. I’d like to try electric brakes though. In off road situations the problem with over run brakes is that they don’t work in reverse so in a failed hill climb situation the full weight of the trailer hangs on the vehicle brakes.
This is a picture I took through the window of a PTO2 vehicle with a Redarc test unit fitted
I’m seeing guys down here nr Poole towing boats way over 3500kg with over run brakes and no Problems.
