motor nose Dragger

[Dood]

Hello,

 

I'm looking for a nose-dragger gas motored  for my M20J and to move a PA28.

 

Can U help me, the only one I found is from aircraft spruce, http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/pspages/gasdragger.php but it cost around $1500 in USA, but $3000 in france. Have U some other website ?

 

thanks

Its an electric motor tow and much lighter than a gasoline tow. Shipping should be a tad more and we have a few pilot on here that use them.

Also, it is small enough to be transported with you in the plane.

If my old power tow 35 bites the dust, I'll order this or make a tow out of an old riding lawnmower.

Thanks Seth, But the airfield has nothing to reload an electric motor tow, that's why I need a gas powered.

The battery is tiny, just bring it home when it needs a charge.

I would recommand the EZ-tug...

I bought a used one here from Clarence that he had for sale from one of his clients, after a bit of mainteance it works great.

One thing though, it dos'nt tow well on ice or slippery snow, even with the tire chains, 1 tire just dos'nt have enough gripp to pull 2000 pounds on a hill in snow, in summer it works awsome...

Or get a small solar charger.

I have two plane to move, a PA28 and my M20J. EZ-Tug seems needed different adaptor for mooney & piper. I think it won't be very convenient

Yeah, but the adapters are easly changable, it takes litteraly 1 to 2 min....

I made this from an old mower for about $125 USD.

I like that Rainman can use his to put his K on the ceiling!  Save a lot of floor space too.

No Kidding! That sucker is powerful and can climb walls like Spiderman!

I always thought it would be fun to get an older used ATV and adapt it to be a tug. That way you would have a fun toy to zip around the airport with! Something like this-

 

2002 Honda

 

Listed on my Craigslist for $1300. Just add tow bar. Way more fun than a lawnmower, golf cart or gas tug.
