Hamid,
It does work, but steering is tricky while pushing. If you have room in the hangar it works well to pull the airplane into the hanger with the tractor (up hill) and push it out by hand (down hill). A longer tow bar might improve the steering sensitivity, but I have not tried that yet.

DISCLAIMER: This is just an idea, I have NOT personally tried this.
Most of the products like Dragger/Aero-Tow etc run for over $1K, some close to $2K. Yesterday at Sears I saw customer-return/refurbished "Lawn Tractors" for under $700 and new ones for about $900. Other sources likely have similar prices.
You can buy one of these, remove the mower deck and do a little engineering to attach a tow bar and now you have a tug with a 15+ HP engine and electric start. You may be able to recoup some of your initial cost by selling the removed mower deck on eBay or Craig's List.
Regards,
Hamid

I am using the Aero-Tow. I bought it for my old cirrus, but I could adapt it for the 4p. It is 5 year old and still works perfectly.
It works really great and would recommend this.

Fellas,
I have the new dragger from Dragger.com and I don't like it. Do you guys like anything else for a 4P?
