Rather than fork out lots of cash for a robo-tow, I
had my local garage put a receiver hitch on the front of my pickup. For
about $20 worth of scrap steel and a trailer hitch, I made up a towbar that
connects airplane to truck. Pull it out using the hitch on the back, push
it in with the hitch on the front. Total cost about $150.
You can try backing it in with the rear hitch, but
you'll have to be a lot more coordinated than me! You can go a few feet,
then everything goes to pot. Kinda like trying to back up a two-axle
haywagon, if you've ever tried that.
