Re: Tow ball
How big is the boat? You wouldn't want to be towing anything larger than a little dinghy with the FTO.

Re: Tow ball
Contact a towbar and trailer manufacturer, they should be able to make one custom.

Re: Tow ball
Yeah, I don't think you will find anyone that has one for sale. You will need to have one custom made.

Re: Tow ball
Speaking as resident FT-tow.
There really is very little you can pull with an FTO.
Hills become horrid and handling becomes compromised.
If your car is lowered, then your fucked, and I use up rated rear tyres to front to allow for a bit more cushion.
If you must, then go ahead, as said, nothing of the shelf, ring a towbar specialist and have the car looked at.
Maximum tow capacity no more than 400kgs.
Oh, and before you ask, no sorry, not uninstalling mine so it can be cloned.
It's a caaaaaarrrrrrrr Northern Territory to remove.

Re: Tow ball
I know I know mr tow what I can & can't tow. Little boat & low trailer, wouldn't be more then 350kg and no hills, just a straight line to the boat ramp and back about 4k away.
Was just hoping someone might have one
