Yes, The 17pdr is a heavy gun , but very well balanced.infact the 6pdr is far heavier on the hitch than a 17pdr ( I have both )
A carrier would not bat an eye lid at towing a 17pdr. Easy to hitch up with chains ( I doubt at the time in action they would be to worried about scratching some paint on the tool plate)
