Thanks for the info on the Power Tow. Are you using it on grass or concrete?

Any challenges with balance using one tire?

Wide tire, so not really a balance problem.  Once you hook it to the nose

wheel it is very stable.



I am using it on asphalt and concrete.  Slight up hill and have to push it

over a ~1.5 inch lip.  No problems with doing that.  I built little ramps to

get over the lip just to make it easier.



I have no experience on grass, but I would not think it would be a problem,

you can push down on the handle to get better traction......

The 'standard' tow bar that a lot of 10 users have (http://www.bogert-av.com/bogi-bars.php)  has an extension that you can get that will allow it to be hooked to golf cart, lawnmower etc.  I've ordered one, but haven't tried it yet, but looks like it should work.  Biggest concern I would have with ANY towbars is that it might slip as you push.  don't ask how I know (previous airplane!!) The tow bar with slight addition, also does a very good job as a rudder gust lock.   larry
