As promised, the PH Defender has been put to work on a proper farm. Just one snag...
, one of the things I promised you was that it would be doing more than just trips to the tip and back. It was, in part, going to be used as Land Rovers have been used since time immemorial: as a workhorse on a farm. There was a slight stumbling block to this, mind, as I shall explain in a bit.
The long and short of it is, our Defender hasn’t got a towbar, which kind of scuppers a lot of my grand plans for it. Anyway, more on that later, because I still had a pole to shift. Luckily, our Defender is an X-Dynamic and that means it comes with rear towing eyes, so I used one of those to hook onto instead. I’d like to tell you some grand tale about how the Defender had to summon all its mighty D300 torque to drag this huge pole along, but that would be completely untrue.
Did the Defender struggle? No, not even slightly. Obviously, I had all the tricky bits working: the hill decent and the off-road display, showing me everything that was happening in real-time. This is absolutely superb. It tells you all sorts of useful stuff, like the lateral and longitudinal angle of the car, which is immensely useful on steep banks, let me tell you.
