You can do all that with a Bateson 750Kg 4 wheel trailer and it will run happily at 90mph or go across soft grass without sinking in

I found a height measurement on the t'internet, can't remember what it was now, but I think it was to within 1/2" of it! But I've just swapped back to my standard wheels so that's lost me perhaps an inch as well. Can't see it being much of an issue tho

No 130Kmh is permitted over here, that's about 82mph if memory serves me and I can generally get away with a bit more LOL. Four wheels makes it a lot more stable, it will tow at that speed laden or unladen

Thanks sas loads of great info there, not sure what the convoy circuit is for! (Often wondered tho).
I'm thinking to get this: TerraFirma TF879 2 Inch Receiver Drop Plate | eBay
and maybe this: Land Rover Defender TDCi 110 Dixon Bate Adj Tow Bar Kit | eBay
maybe with a Nato hitch as well, so just need to save my pennies.

Convoy lights are something for squaddies to follow
you can convert them to normal trailer electrics easily enough.The receiver drop plate is meant for a receiver hitch. Or are you going to modify it to fit? Don't forget for a car after a certain year tow hitches need to be type approved! Mines a commercial so it doesn't.
Pretty sure my drop plate is just an older version of that one.

Nice widetrack for sale by a mate of mine in Buxton
Having now decided that needing the space for a series 1 is more important than a trailer the old girl is up for sale, she will come complete with a military tilt, excellent replacement spare tail gate, new tyres, spare Nos hubs and shoes and a nato hitch.
All the lights work from a standard military plug ( i will even throw in a military plug for your land rover ) so you won't need to use a horrible trailer board all the time.She tows lovely and quite even fully loaded, it's very heavy but so well balanced that moving it around unhitched is easy even on rough ground, the brakes work well but the hand brake is stiff just needs using more often as i usual park her up and lower the dolly to stop it rolling.looking for £250 complete with all the extras, it's rough around the edges but without doing any repairs will last years as they were built to be abused by the military :thumbs:
the photos only show the old tail gate as i haven't needed to use the new one :banghead
