I went down to the tow bar
shop today to have a chat about getting a new tongue made for my drawbar to help the trailer travel a bit flatter. i asked for a bit of advise to get the existing tongue out which is pretty
well stuck in place.
The suggestion....
Connect my snatch strap to a tree and the other end to the tongue and try to "snatch" it out! believe it or not he was not kidding... would'nt mind seeing it but sure as hell would'nt wanna do it!

Have you got a nice heavy trailer? We got caught out still hooked up to our stock trailer on the morning of a day-trip, without the key to the trailer lock. It took us a while to stop panicking and come up with a solution... We un-pinned the tow-bar, chocked the trailer
well, and drove off (with a few revs). Probably not a method recommended by trailer or towbar manufacturers, but it worked.
