Lankytim Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Bought a towing dolly from eBay yesterday but it seems most of the country are now in tier4, the wife isn't keen on me travelling down to collecting and thinks I should leave it until COVID is all over (i.e some time in the next 10 years) Is anyone passing Abingdon and going north, or is anyone local who could look after it for me until I can collect? I think people are allowed to travel for work purposes but not pleasure, so maybe this would suit a pro-shiter of some description. It's perfectly towable according to the seller and has reflectors on the back end, although a trailer board may be advisable. a negotiable amount of beer tokens available.

worldofceri Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I’m not at the moment but I’ll make a mental note to let you know if I’m passing Abingdon in the next few weeks. Looks like a handy old bit of kit. Lankytim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lankytim Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 I'm wondering how tier 4 +is going to affect this collection caper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lankytim Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 This might not be happening at all now, despite being paid and agreeing to store the dolly until I can collect the seller has just relisted this on eBay. I’ve messaged and text him to ask what’s going on but haven’t had a response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldofceri Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Well , that’s not on. I would grab this for you if I was heading down the A34 but don’t know when that might be yet. I’d have thought another shiteist would be closer but I suppose it’s a cumbersome thing to transport and store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel bickle Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Those amplus trailers are great, as long as the tyres are good.? They ‘tend’ to be aged light aircraft rubber that feels sound- till you load it, at which point they fail. Ask me how I know.... It’ll tow home, unloaded- no issues ; but I would recommend a close check& a trial run with something weighty. Wheels ( probably needed cos you’ll knacker the rims, stopping, if the tyre blows) are difficult to find & replacement rubber is pretty dear. I’m also “ not sure” how Traffic Plod. would now view aircraft tyres - designed for landing type shear stress - being used for constant high load towing. Having said all that, it’s absolutely brill for loading single end damage motors. That ain’t ‘alf ‘ ‘eavy , though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
