I have been reading through various threads on rolling your own Tug fab.
Plan on using a large snowblower to push plane up a ramp into my hangar. I have come across some good ideas, reading on here and google searching.
Just looking for any more current experience or tips. The blower is plenty powerful, easy to turn, steer and already on site.
Ideally I will fab up a bracket that would mount on front of blower and either hold the front section of a bogey bar (slide in and pin), or make up a new one with a little more meat. Looking for tips on height, angles, and brewing your own secure clamp to nose wheel so that something doesnt go wrong or not turn nicely or snowblower is too close to prop etc.
Any tips/war stories or experience/comments?
Already have the machine, just looking for a little help pushing it back in when tired or ramp is slick as the push up hill is a bit much some days. cheers
