Coupler better than Treg?

O'Briens hitch can be found here www.obrienstrailers.com.au/default.html and follow links through accessories.

Yes,

Would agree with these comments.

The Treg coupling allows about 23 deg. up/down from horizontal (46 deg. total)
where as the Orac has a 90 deg. articulation from horizontal. (180 deg total)

Big effort to convert the couplings over though.

gday
I use a coupler from O'Brian ORAC and have never had a problem at all.I think that they are well made and quite easy to line up with the tow bar.

can the orac be fitted to a hydraulic brake system?

Just looking at it, I don't see why not, but you'd need someone with a bit more knowledge on the subject for aproper answer to that one.

To contain your international shipping charges have it shipped via the postal service ( Australia Post ).

Do not use surface mail (takes months). Have them post it air mail. You will get it in about 10 days. Much cheaper than Fed Ex.

Yep, I'd vote for Aust Post, Had some bits for the O'Briens Trailer shipped from Melbourne to Fitzroy Crossing, which is nearly as remote as the US of A. Was going to cost $300.00 odd dollars to use Air Express and take a week, Aust Post did it for $45.00 and it took 5 days.

Good luck Mark

That rubbish is the remains of a 1930s era car hulk that was rusting away in a local creek, which is one source for our local water supply. Our 4x4 club holds regular clean-up events to clear away trash, debris and other refuse dumped there by uncaring idiots. Its that dumping that justifies closure of favorite 4x4 trails by the anti-access factions. So we go out and volunteer our time to clean up the mess. For that car, we cut it into small pieces and hauled it away to the landfill. Sadly, we often clean up an area and it is soon trashed again and the cycle repeats itself. The majority of dumpers are those tightwads that will not pay $10 US to the landfill; rather, they go out into the hills and just dump it there. Another problem is underage kids drinking and since they don't care to be caught with any evidence, just dump their empty beer/liquor bottles/cans along the road. The last group is the recreational target shooters-- they haul old appliances into the hills and after shooting them full of holes, just leave the mess and drive away.

Its a beautiful day here and it finally stopped snowing and raining. Think i'll take the quad for a spin. After a busy day at work, i'll treat myself to a few cold adult refreshments!

we have the same type of jerks here in aus too....
in South Australia we have a refundable deposit (5c) on most containers but it aint enough to stop juveniles dropping them, where they end up in our waterways or just generally pollute the environment......

we also have those other jerks who will not fork out the money to take their rubbish to the transfer stations where most is put into bins for appropriate recycling..ie steel, concrete, vegitable

Nope that didn't work.
Try...
