A Bit Over Engineered

PekkaNF:
I don't see all the workking angles so my concern might be ungounded.

If ground is all treebark or such that might work. On rake? I have seen those spikes are springy things, like some coils on the upper end to give in when you run into obstacle. Those strong steel rods might rip off or bend.

Also, as stated before, I would consider some sort of slipjoint or such on the hitch to allow some slack after a snatch.

The tow hitch is below the axle centre height so the quad will be poulled down
There is a 6 inch layer of bark on top of a membrane the spikes will only go in 4 inches
We will find out how it works at the weekend
Thanks for your concerns
Regards
