I've used a four wheeler, a lawn tractor, and a pickup truck to tow my plane around. I found the longer the tow bar, the easier it is to steer the plane. Then two years ago helping JD & Laura move into Russel's old hangar, we came across one of these tugs. It wouldn't start and the tire was split open and falling off the wheel. After a bit of work, it's great running little tug and by far the easiest I've ever used to move the Mooney and steer it forwards or backwards.

This is what I also did..rebuilt/reengined an old model 35 into latest model EZ Tow 40 with elec start...no more riding lawn tractors

On my Robotow I installed wheels for easy drag to the plane for when getting in and out of the hangar. For longer distances I just taxi the plane. I can easily store the Robotow in my crowded hangar.
