Buggy tandem hitch
Now that we are a 2 buggy family, the time for tandem has come. I saw a couple of hitches here that look easy enough to fab up but my metal working
skills are limited to singing it and playing bass if you know what I mean. I tried local shops and they are out of their minds with the quotes I got.
I'll be using an XR+ as the lead buggy and a Flexifoil Scout as the trailer. Standard axle on the XR+ for now. Scout is bone stock except midi tires.
Anyone have one they would be willing to part with, or anyone willing to fab one? Doesn't have to be anything too fancy, function takes priority for
me.
Thanks all!!

Take a look at http://www.rainbowsendcam.com/nwbpa/nwbpa52.pdf . Starting on page 4 there is an article on buggy hitches with pictures.
Hope this helps!

Drew, that is version 1. Angus made mine afterwards. Looks much the same but with Black handles. Comes with the tandem hitch too which I only found
on Sunday. lol. You don't owe me anything. I might let you pay shipping, just paying it forward. We do need to get it to you though. G00f not
sure about the tech savvy you are talking about. The wood deck/tandem hitch stuff is all Angus.
