    If I was to get a usual trailer like suggested, can I get a hoop to fit the pintle? I don't want to change the hook to a tow ball.

    That "hoop" is generally called a lunette and they are available in several different mount variations from advanced trailer shops or component manufacturers (eg. Alko)

    It is also accepted that for off-road use, if you have a rotating pintle hook the lunette should be fixed, and conversely if your pintle is fixed then the lunette should rotate. If this rule isn't followed, the towing vehicle or the trailer may be damaged or even overturned.

    I will be taking it down some pretty tight tracks so don't want to get a trailer that is much wider than the landy itself.

    Cheers for your input,

    This might look good behind the series.

    I don't think it's ex army but it will look the part painted olive drab. The hubs look as if they're off a No.5.
    It might also be too wide. You'd have to check it out in person. You can also easily put a lunette on it. I also wonder if it has brakes, which it will need.
