Power tugs, preferences?

by **N8632Y** » Mon Jan 25, 2010 2:23 pm

Moving into private hangar, and I cannot push my twin very well, forget about pushing uphill a bit.
Wondering what power tugs people prefer, and why?
I'm leaning towards this one:

Steve: Bob Williams has a Power Tow for sale in the Classified Ads in the classified section for $750.00. I bought his Ox tank and it was in great shape.

Call and talk to him. I believe he told me his ICS number was 93. He is willing to ship it.

Hi Steve,

If you have a choice and power in your hanger, I would recommend an electric tug. Nothing beats flipping a switch to get action. I had a gas tug and converted it to electric and bought an 80' cord. Much better.

Good luck, Don

Steve,

I've had both the PowerTow electric and 40EZ models and prefer the electric for ease of start and the gas for flexibility. The 40 seemed to get the Twin over the threshold a bit better.

Be aware that over time, all allen-wrenched connection points will need to be tightened.

Steve;

I have owned the electric Power Tow for over 20 years with no problems. I share it with my friends Beech 33 and I drilled two holes in the side tube the fits the axles. I then use a 3/8" bolt as a pin and then not worry about changes in length or slipping.
