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.

With a free castering nosewheel, I believe it is even more difficult
to back it up than a stearable nosewheel... I use an ATV as a tug and
have hitches on the front and the rear... Most of the moves are just
in and out of the hangar, so I use the front hitch, but if I'm taking
it down to the mechanic or the wash rack, I use the rear hitch
(assuming I'm not going to need to back it into some place later)...
Care must be taken to ensure that you do not tow the aircraft too fast
with such a light vehicle or you will experience a case of the tail
wagging the dog... I've had it happen once and it was a a very
adrenaline inducing experience at the time...
