Last couple planes I owned I bought Wag Aero tow bars. They are robust and do the job well. I drag my T Lance around with it currently. I recommend them.

Thanks I appreciate your responses. No need for a tractor, as that would also work, I was looking for just the hand held tow bar. I have seen them for just short of 400.00 but I am surprised that I could not find them for much less. My past planes were $90-ish. I only use it 2-3 times/year to “winch” the plane in the hangar with it is too icy in front of the hangar for my tug to work. (even with chains). I do have my original in the nose and will continue to use that one but if I could find a much less and cheaper one I would then keep it as a spare so I don’t have to open the nose storage compartment in zero degrees weather at 10 pm at our cabin in N WI.

I do appreciate the responses. Thanks again and I will keep an eye. on this thread in case someone has another idea.

I believe whatever has a low price point.

I don’t believe there is a new tug or airplane mover out there for that price point. One owner I know bought a riding lawnmower off the local Craigslist, modified it with a hitch on the front, and using one of the Brackett TR 34 towbar, used it to push their twin into their hangar.
I bought a used gas powered power tow from Powertow but it cost $700. I had to built some adapters for my Comanche.
Having a powered airplane mover has made such a huge difference at the end of a long flight day. It used to be a struggle, but now I pull the start rope, engine starts, I let it warm up for a few, then shazam–it’s in the hangar right now.

Hand pull, tractor pull, powered?

Hey everyone, looking for suggestions on behalf of a member. He is looking for a tow bar for under $400.00. It’s for a Seneca III – 1982. Any suggestion?
