Sounds like you want a Heyman Reece Hitch like that fitted to my Jimny.
In Oz, you can get all sorts of extras for them, including a little safe box that fits inside the hitch :whistle:
Even a Winch carry cradle which can be mounted front or rear, very handy :evil:
... and an adjustable sway/level rider kit

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationThat's why I like the standard flange type towbar as you can bolt all sorts to them.
I had a detachable swan neck on my Swift and it was useless for anything other than towing a trailer.
Possibly you could use a cycle rack bracket like this as a base and bolt on a custom rack??
How heavy are the hurdles?? It won't matter in a field but you might have a "legal" problem on the road and they will stick out quite far each side of a Jimny.
Easiest option would be to get a used flange towbar and swap it over and you can sell on your detachable one.
The towbar itself doesn't take long to fit especially as you already have the electrics fitted.
