handler 69 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Can a Saracen tow an army trailor? If so was it a special one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfire Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 The Saracen is fitted with a standard pintle hook and the manual suggests towing no more than one tonne. You could certainly tow more, safely, with a braked trailer but you need to be aware that it will put additional load on the drivetrain, particularly the fluid flywheel; overheat them much and the seal will fail, dumping out all of the OM-13 and leaving you on the side of the road. If you stick to on-road towing you should be fine though. Cheers, Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handler 69 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 Thanks fellas, was thinking about a towing one over a mild 4x4 track, loaded with camping gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfire Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 That should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
