Working on the ideal single engine tug!

It has one, but I never set it up that way. Makes it easier???
I have seen cars and trucks pushing boat trailers that way because they
couldn't back them up. I never had to do that. So, I thought I could
succeed by backing up. It just didn't work that way. I'll try it next
time.
Without a doubt, the pushing will be simple with the hitch on front.
The difference is the type of trailer. Yeah, I too can back a conventional
trailer with my eyes closed. The problem comes with backing a trailer with
a steerable front axle. That is what some call a 4 wheel trailer, however
inaccurate that description may be.
The plane with a steerable nose or tail wheel, with a towbar is like the 4
wheel trailer. Everything is backwards. You put the hitch on the front of
the tug, and it all becomes easy, and intuitive.
