I finished my tow machine and here is a picture. I have about $150 in it-I
didn't have to buy a gear head motor, the wheel is from Harbor Freight at
$9, the 2 batteries from Wal-Mart (the motor is a 24V so I have 2 speeds)
but I kept buying the 1" square tube from Lowes and it was expensive. 2
problems: the space between the wheel pant and the tow wheel is too small so
I have to extend the arms about 3" and I need to add a light so I can hook
up in the dark. I'm thinking about a seat also so I can ride it around. I
got the idea from a Kitplanes article a few years back.

Albert,
Great idea!
How about some solar panels to recharge, then you could apply for a tax
credit as a eco friendly renewable energy vehical.

Does OSHA permit unenclosed batteries ???
Where is the air bag, warning labels, and the passive emergency cut off ?
Does it have NHTSA approval for Off-road use ?

Check the archives, I posted info, and I think even the article, on it a year or so back. If you have a Kitplanes subscription you can go back and download it for free.
