In Reply to: Tow Bar Use posted by Gordon Maney on March 14, 1999 at 14:13:09:
I use a GI medium towbar to move my trucks around my property when I work on them. I've never been satisfied with the results, but sometimes you do things for speed and practicality, that are probably not sound ideas. I would draw the line at highway travel however. The damage to tires and rims alone makes it unwise. In my early Army experience, I found that a-type towbars excell at towing with the front end on the wrecker hook, but are near useless for flat towing. One thought has since occured to me that it might be possible to construct a simple wheel dolly for the front end, thus removing the problem of the truck not following. Anyone ever try this?
