Hello Peter,
Your point is taken re ATV’s.
However, these things should not be used
either in tight situations requiring sharps turns, or to PUSH back the
aircraft.
I only use it to tow forward, using wide
radius turns. If you don’t have the room to use, then you have to manually
push/pull the aircraft until you can hook up.
Best regards
Dom
A suggestion for moving around an airplane hooked up
to a tow bar connected to an ATV. If the ATV does not have
4 wheel steering, which I think most if not all do not have, build a hitch
on the front of the vehicle to use whenever one wants to push the plane
backward into tight spots. It is much easier and less likely to
damage the nose strut, particularly if it has turning stops.
