Hitch for two PL buggies

Tibi - 22-7-2011 at 09:02 AM

I ended up owning two buggies (PL Comp XR+ and PL bigfoot) and I'm thinking of making a hitch between the two in order to be able to carry a passenger. Does anybody have close-up pictures of a hitch designed for this purpose... or some sketches?

Angus wrote up and included pics for the Buggy Tow Hitch he did. It can be found here:

This is my tandem set up.

I had a friend fab it up for me.

I made a tandem trailer for mine, it's lighter than 2 whole buggies.

Also, there's a thread here: Buggy/trailer hitch

There's also an article on buggy hitches at http://www.rainbowsendcam.com/nwbpa/nwbpa52.pdf , it's on page 4.

Off topic, I miss these newsletters and hopefully we can start again under NAPKA.

Morrie can we post all the old newsletter for review on the site if it's not too much trouble. Good reads.

Sam, that would make entirely too much sense :)

Back on subject....

This is the one I use when towing a PL behind the Apexx
Simple design and works great thanks to John Ellis:thumbup:

This is what mine looks like but my hitch is a welded to the frame block of metal, just a simple square and a whole drilled in it. It seems to do the trick.

I like the rubber bit. Here's what I use on the libre <-- xr+ thanks to coolbreeze! I take the kids out pretty much every time I go. Took the mother in law out while she knitted. I still need to post the video. this year the dog.
