Powered Tow Bars for Mooney - $650

[bcg]

I'm all caught up on orders so if you need a powered tow bar that's portable, let me know.  For those wondering why it's $650 now instead of the original $500, my materials costs have increased.  I bought up all the available inventory of motors and wheels at the original lower price I found them at and am now having to pay double what I was for them.  I also made a change to the chain used to drive the wheel and that necessitated having a sprocket for the wheel custom made from chromoly steel.  Those 2 things make up the $150 price increase.  I actually lost money on the last few I sold at $500, I'd already accepted the orders at that price though, so I ate it.  That's just the way it goes sometimes.

FYI, I got one of the below duffle bags and this tug fits nicely in it.  You may want to use a cheap towel to keep the pieces from chipping each other.

Also nice is side pockets to store the battery packs separate from the unit.

That looks really great.  How much does it way.  Is it long enough to use easily with the longer nosed 6 cylinder Mooneys?

About 20 pounds.

I have sold them to people with Missiles, Rockets and Ovations. It's worked on all of them. The production version is longer than the one I built for my C.

For anyone on the fence regarding this tow, just do it! When @bcg first offered these I jumped on one and it is the best thing I ever did. My lower back thanks me every time I have to put the Mooney back in the hangar. Very well built, plenty of torque. The price is honestly ridiculous (in a good way) when you consider the cost of similar tows on the market. Kudos to Bernie for offering these at a reasonable price to us.
