Mindful of my accident last night in which I got THIS by trying to push the plane into the hangar....
(sorry if this makes you squeemish, try to focus on the dead sexy nature of it)
I need to give up pushing the plane into the hangar, especially since there a ramp there also to keep water out.
I've been reading the thread on winches but that's out for me b/c I don't own the hangar and also because I'm reluctant to put stresses on parts of the plane that weren't designed for it. And the hangar is drywalled with a drop ceiling so it'd be hard to install any combination of winches or pullies.
A nice tug seems like a good idea and I found this online, although it says to call for RV adaptability.
It's pricey but still cheaper than an evening in an emergency room and I don't ever want to feel the pain of a dislocated shoulder ever again.
And I need to make concessions to the fact I'm not as young as I once was.
Does anyone have this or anything like it? Is it weighty enough to push an RV over shoveled snow without spinning its tires? And could it get it up over the roughly 1-2" ramp?
