Default Working on the ideal single engine tug!

Wheelhorse has a nice clamp and lift articulated tug. A
lawn tractor with a hitch pintle front and rear works great
and can mow, blow snow and plow.

Good luck with you company, but most small airplane owner's
just use muscle power or a clip-on tire roller.


Our hangar neighborhood has a JD lawn tractor that has the mowing unit
removed but it does have a snow blade. Very nice for clearing the "alley".

The sixteen of us paid in $50 each to the fellow who provided it when he got
a new fancy-schmantzy one. Some guy built a small shed to store it in out of
plywood.

As for towage, the biggest bird our "neighborhood" has is a Cheyenne II.
