16svt Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Could I legally tow an FH70 behind my Matador? Is a gun classed as a trailer? And is it too heavy for the Matador? I would not be going far with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not be going far with it. The FH70 is a VERY heavy piece and in my view badly balanced,I don't know if it would be right legally but you would be certainly know it was behind you ! Stopping could be an issue. Rob.......................rnixartillery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharky Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 we had ours towed with a fastrac jcb and the driver wasnt to impressed by the way it towed(thats the polite version of what was said) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomboom Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I tow my FH70 with my M813A1 and boy do i know it as the gun weighs in at 10 ton and is a pig on any bend in the road reasson being the axle on the gun is set on the very back of the gun itself and cuts in like hell but on a straight road its fine it just sits there , I have a 250 cummins in my truck and that pulls it fine but on hills you know its there then going down the hills you feel as if the devils behind pushing you but my M813 is a 6x6 and i think the Maty is a 4x4 just some things to think about ??? but if you aint going far i think it will be fine for the maty boomboom;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharky Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 get the engine fired up on itand drive :-| just dont go off road.just allow plenty of time as 9 miles an hour is top speed i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16svt Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Doubt the Matador would manage more the 9 MPH with 10 ton behind it anyway. Would it be legal though? As the Matador is not plated, what is the legal max weight it can tow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
