I think what Mark meant is are you towing on a trailer, rope, solid bar or? _________________

As Dylan said, method of towing.
Your Trooper can tow 3500kg with ease, a Trooper is about 1900kg empty, the problem is the legal bit, I tow stuff on an A frame and its illegal but the police dont seem to bother if its short distance.
If its long distance then get a trailer, your SWB can legally tow about 3300kg from memory. _________________ |

Yup, I regularly pulled an Ifcor Williams with a 4 tonne digger on it. And once I pulled my Dads 4JX1 which had the Ifor Williams and the 4 tonne digger on it from a standing start up Lurgybrack (one of the nastiest hills in Letterkenny) when his 4JX1 done the DMF.
