Yea, I must say these gas tugs are totally overpriced for what they are. If Harbor Freight sold them they'd be $300. I'm not paying $1500 for a glorified lawn mower. I'll wait for a good deal on a used one. Guy on CL here wants $700 for a rusted out old Power Tow 60. I offered him $300, he declined. I've read stories like you told of guys selling their tug for $100 because they sold the plane, or what have you. I need to find THAT guy!

Sidewinder

Guys and gals,

I just got the Redline Aviation's Sidewinder for the 337G. I love it! It is light and can fit under the bench seat. It is quick and simple to connect, I calculated that a battery charge will pull about 12-1500 feet.

I am "pretty" in shape but I have been getting some body strains that have been lingering after I move the bird. These units are a little pricey but it is cheaper than muscle issues.....

Paul

Wink Who uses a motorized tug?

MSHAC. Yep I certainly got lucky with my purchase for $100+ about $45 for the new drive tire. I hope you are lucky in the near future!
Regards, BILLS

Electric golf cart best. Look for good used one. Pintle hook on front and universal tow bar. Produces 100% torque at almost zero rpm. Batteries weigh it down so wheels don’t spin. You can inch your bird in at a crawl preventing hanger rash.

A plus: you can zip around the airport.
