Posted for "allan  scherr" <n4sx@earthlink.net>:

I've been using an electric motorized towbar (The "Nosewheel Dragger" 
www.dragger.com ) on my LNC4 for the past 4 years.  It works just fine as long 
as the battery is fully charged.  I usually just leave it plugged into an 
automatic trickle charger. My only complaint is that the tires are a little 
small to get traction in the snow/ice we have here (POU) in the winter.

  Aviation Consumer had a piece about motorized towbars about five years ago, 
and I followed their advice buying the nose wheel version of the Tail Dragger 
Dragger.  It was, as I recall, also one of the less expensive ones. 

Good luck,

  > > >  I am curious to know what motorized towbars the group has found 
useful (or 
not) for hauling the IV in and out of hangers.  Electric vs. gas powered? I 
havea slight incline up into the hanger which makes it difficult to hand-push 
back in without 2 people. < < <
