Motorized towbar

APACHE 56

Well Known Member
Due to a recent physical impairment I am unable to drag my RV8 up the ramp into my hanger by the towbar. I have a Bell tail wheel with an axle bolt extending through the forks to accommodate the towbar. Now I need a motorized version of the towbar. Any suggestions?
 
Hey Don, sorry to hear you are having trouble getting your plane moved around. There are several tugs you could buy but this one has always intrigued me. It is for nose wheel planes, but may be able to be modified for your tail wheel.

David, from Michigan built this from a snowblower. Finding a snowblower in your part of the country may be the biggest problem!

Check this post out and maybe you can get some ideas. Best of luck.
