    Pros

    The Robotow does a great job moving my Cessna 182 RG up a fairly steep grade into my hangar. It takes very little downward pressure on the handle. The adapter which connects to the nose gear is sturdy and well made.

    Cons

    It is a little cumbersome to hookup and unhook from the nose gear, but after doing it a few times it goes pretty quickly. I don't recommend this for those that have back or knee problems due the the need to get down under the the nose of the plane.

    Pros

    Absolutely a great product. Was easy to adapt to my plane. Easy to use and saves my back. I was unable to push my twin back in the hanger by myself as there is a slope for water to drain. This really works. I was skeptical at first but am pleasantly surprised. Only had it for a month so I can not attest to the durability. Pricey butbworth it.

    Pros

    It can be operated and allow for steering the aircraft all with one hand and with minimal stress on the nose gear. Also, it hooks up to my Beechcraft very easily.

    Cons

    Price is a little high and the unit might be considered by some to be a little heavy.

    General Comments

    It seems to provide sufficient tow capability without the noise and hassle of a gas powered tow while being easy to use and allows steering without lifting a gas powered unit of the ground.
