Raptortail Posted November 28, 2022 Report Posted November 28, 2022 In July, I purchased a Robotow Heavy Duty Cordless Towbar for my Mooney M20M Bravo, however, it's just not quite strong enough to push my heavy long-body Mooney into the hanger when it's full of fuel. However, I think it would work perfectly for a lighter short or medium body Mooney. The Robotow has only been used a dozen times and comes like-new in the original box. I'm asking $1300 + shipping.
carusoam Posted November 29, 2022 Report Posted November 29, 2022 Where are you and it located? Likely, somebody near by will purchase it… compared to a Mooney flight away… Best regards, -a-

N56394 Posted December 6, 2022 Report Posted December 6, 2022 Hello, I have been thinking of purchasing one for my Missile, however it's empty weight is about 2000, and I think the Bravos are about 2200, so not sure if it is a good match. Any recommendations are welcomed.

Any recommendations are welcomed. Based on my experience, the weight is not directly a problem, but what you must overcome in terms of terrain (pavement grades or hangar door tracks). My fully fueled J at about 2200 pounds was no problem for the robo-tow on flat ground. I only had issues with entering the hangar itself as I could not get enough momentum going up the grade AND over the hangar track. Either alone was no problem. Just my $.02 worth. -dan
amillet Posted December 7, 2022 Report Posted December 7, 2022 I ended up with @Bolter’s robotow in a three way swap that netted him with a power tow that can move a jet. My J’s empty weight is 1960 and the robotow moves it adequately
