DESCRIPTION TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
 
Tail Dragger Tug

This tug ships with a 20V Dewalt power system. If you want more power, the Milwaukee 28V power system must be purchased as an option.

If you have a smooth concrete or epoxy painted hangar floor, we recommend buying our Traction Tape or Wheel Weight Hubs option to prevent tire slippage.

If you are purchasing Wheel Weight Hubs you must click HERE to purchase 2 - 25 lb. cast iron weights.
The wheel weight hubs are only the hubs and do not come with the weights themselves. The weights ship for free from the vendor in the link.
NOTE: These are the ONLY weights which fit our weight hubs

4 of 5 Nice but... April 6, 2021
Reviewer: Steve Hill from Moriarty, NM United States  
The box was damaged but the only damage was a bend in the tail wheel plate. Straightened it out at the cost of some powder coating. Easy to assemble. Mods will be reqd to work on our 1950 Bellanca 14-19. It just barely fits on the tailwheel because of the scissor mechanism on the aircraft.  The tail lift lever hits the rudder when turning.  The 210# on the tailwheel is within the advertised wt limit.  I thought traction would be OK on bare concrete but the wheels spin until you get it moving with a good push. We have the Milwaukee powered version.  Wheel weights might have been worth it.  Their clever trick to avoid needing a differential works somewhat but turning is still hard.  A free-wheeling mode would be nice since it is slow getting the unit back in the hangar.  It high-centers on the 1 inch angles at the base of the Stack Doors which will require a ramp.  I am hoping that our investment will provide a good starting point that will work after modifications and more practice.

The tug is doing perfectly.  I love the precision it gives me in running the plane in and out of a tight space.  Thank you.

4 of 5 Happy with tug on Piper Cub November 27, 2013
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Norton, KS United States  
I am happy with the tug on my Cub as it will save a lot of wear and tear on me and the struts, etc. where I usually push.  I can maneuver the Cub into the hanger very easily and quickly now.   I like the simplicity of the tug, plus I always have a drill handy if I need one, and it's light weight and small.  Very close to being perfect.
