Can a 4x4 pull an HGV?
Can a 4x4 pull an HGV?
Air breaks (on coaches and trucks) automatically apply themselves if tank No3 becomes drained on a UK spec 3 tank set up. Tank 3 being the last of the reserve, by the time you start using that tank you know there is a major issue and will have pulled over.

Just make sure the air tanks are full so the breaks don't spring on. We used chain tow rope as normal rope would not be up to the job.

That's amazing! And shows then that without all our health and safety rubbish a 4x4 could easily pull a truck a few feet to get it out of the way.
