"Regarding different types of hitches....you have to match types. Agricultural implements were designed to fit on tractor hitches, not on car hitches, they are completely incompatible."
Shock, horror! Are you telling me that a Bradley Auto Jaw hitch is incompatible with British Standard Eye Shafts?
If you read the small print of your car or landrover insurance you will almost certainly find your insurance only covers trailers towed with a 50mm ball hitch, jaw type hitches not being covered normally.
Not so. At least not on my policy!
To summarise the situation, trailers for cars or land rovers are built to certain standards to meet relevant legislation and regulations. Any trailer towed by a car or landrover must meet these standards.Yes, but we could go on and on, and even include the need for tachographs under some circumstances.
Agricultural trailers and implements are built to meet a different set of legislative requirement and regulations.
That's open to even wider interpretation!
Anything you hook on the back of your car or landrover must meet the first set of regs, if you hook an agricultural trailer or implement on your car or landrover it is highly unlikely to meet these first set of regs, as it was built to meet the second set of regs.
But the only people who will provide a definitive answer(?), would be the boffins at the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency formerly known as VOSA
