HDAV Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) Came across this on anther forum and thought it may be of use to some here Awful website but for £100-£150 you can have a bike/bale/kit carrier on towball http://www.bak-rak.com/index.htm Ideal if you don't want to put wet muddy stuff in car and have a tow hitch. Looks really good if you ever need to move a bale 2 or of hay or straw about and have a saloon! No affiliation just thought it looked handy and not a bad price Edited February 4, 2017 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsonicnat Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Yes my mates got one,carries cement bags on it mainly,dusty stuff.. Takes a hell of a load.. Good bit of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodie Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Looks good but surely too easy to overload the rear of the car and have reduced steering and front braking. That's why there is a nose weight limit on tow bars. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) Well of course you would need to load vehicle legally and within the limits set by manufacturer........ of course everyone who tows sets the correct nose weight for the towing vehicle....

Wb123 Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) I had a brown seat moment with a heavily laden car and nothing on the tow bar when going uphill in the wet a corner led to some horrendous understeer (at 20mph!). It had felt alright until then on that journey. Not sure i would put many bags of cement on one of those unless the car was otherwise pretty empty.

four-wheel-drive Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Years ago I had a big Vauxhall and I wanted some concrete blocks so I got to the builders merchant and loaded the boot up with blocks not that many really did not fill the boot at all then I set off for home god was I pleased to arrive home when I went over a bump the front wheels nearly left the road making it terrible to keep going in a strait line never again just a word of warning.

HDAV Posted February 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Useful, mind I would not put my dog in the dog box. I thought that too, however any worse than a dog trailer? More suited to bales and feed bags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
