Morning All,

Not sure really where to post this, however, this seems as good a place as any.
I'm looking to buy something local to me to tow (reasonably local, an hour or so away).
I have an L200 with a standard 'ball' type tow hitch.
The item i want to buy, has a tractor coupling type, is there any sort of thing that i can buy, to convert the tractor coupling type to something my truck could tow it with?
The item is cheap, so don't really want to invest too much money into getting it home, as i want to convert it to something else & would change the coupling if/when i did that to a proper car suitable one.

Thanks,

agent006

You should be able to unbolt the hitch on the L200 and replace with something like this:

Agricultural hitches and military 'NATO' hitches are different, so make sure you get the right one. The ring on a NATO hitch is much fatter. You might consider one of these if it is actually a NATO hitch on your intended buy:

Combined 50mm ball & NATO hitch

Cheers guys, panic over, i didn't win the item, so the search continues, ideally for something with a car hitch.
