Yep plenty of feed in the paddocks at the moment, tractor & slasher are doing some hours.

Great idea, Justin.
Only problem I can see is weight distribution
It would "fish Tail" madly at speed.

Cheers

looked at your trailer tub when you first said you were doing it, looks good now,
not as good as a series lwb tub eh!
how is it for balance, mine was right on neutral even with the long drawbar, so i have put a jockey wheel up front and will extend it forward also. at neutral balance it was banging the tow hitch so much you would think something was falling off.

Mate with the 2 spares up front and the jerry cans it tows perfectly and my wife can disconnect it with no problems. Thats the beauty of a Defender tub. It gives you room to add extras up front without overdoing your towball weight.

With 2 spares and jerry cans you have about 20kg tow ball weight as long as you pack your load with a bit of thought.
