There's a guy named Scratch that has been towing with one for years out of
Texas, but I cant give you more info than that.

The same guy, however may have shotguns mounted in the wings and also use
the wagon to hunt...

Scratch Lee is the guy. He tows for the Caprock Soaring Club in
Littlefield, Texas.

The guns were installed by previous owner Bill Shirley of Marfa. I had Bill
tell me the gun story again just a few days ago. It is a GOOD story
involving extremely well known test pilots. The guns, unfortunately, are no
longer installed.

Check with Tom at High Country Soaring.
I used to fly the Ag-Wagon for them. A good tow plane, but it can be
tricky to land for the un-prepared.
Performance would depend on your field elevation, among other things.
The Pawnee would be more economical, and easier to find pilots that
can handle it. Climb performance would be comparable, the Pawnee is
lighter, smaller engine, less fuel burn, and any monkey can fly it.
The Wagon is wonderful to fly, but in strong x-wind, I would park it &
get out the Pawnee. Don't put a low time pilot in the Wagon!
