front tow bar

Hi, wonder if anyone has had any experience of putting a front tow bar on a range rover 2005 model. looking to use it to push a 600kg rib up and down a slipway. does it work? anything to look out for when fitting? where to get the tow bar?
thanks in anticipation.

So why can't you just reverse up and down the slipway???

I do it regualrly with my P38 no problem and a 6m rib on the back

hi,
slipway is on a very tight bend and at the end of a small cul de sac. was able to reverse down previously by unhitching smaller rib and then straightening trailer and re-attaching to range rover. worried bigger boat is likely to end up down the slipway.

it'd be easier if you had some bull bars but that aint gonna happen.Try a towbar fitting company see what they say

And don't forget to have a chat with your insurance company Thay might not be too impressed at your proposed modificatshun

Hi
I got a great tow bar from Watling Engineering for my TD5 Disco, they provide tow bars for most vehicles. Follow this link.
They are neat and unobtrusive.
