This year's equipment budget went to a towable hydraulic lift. Now I know what next year's big purchase will be. With an RVR 9 I'll be able to move that lift to places where the truck won't fit. Thanks, Ron.
If I were the distributor I would worry about people losing their trailers down hills and possibly causing harm. It needs a way to apply electric trailer brakes when needed. You would expect that someone who would buy this would be smart enough to keep it off of hills but it will eventually happen.
This is pretty close to what I pictured when I thought of this idea. I was planning to make mine a bit longer with a barstool seat on it so I could use my weight to give it more traction. I would also use large lead acid batteries and make it 300# instead of 75#. I doubt I could build it for less than this cost though.
I wonder how long before you back it into the garage wall. I bet it leaves a big hole. More batteries in the trailer and a bigger Binford Motor you could ride the trailer to your jobsite. All joking aside, I know a time I would happily pay for that tug.
The price is fair for what you get. Don't be sucked into judging by size. I have a friend with 3 tugs for his planes and the cheapest one was 7K. This 75# robot will tow 9,000#😎🤙
Not a gadget at all. It is very functional and I would get one if I towed more often. I don't know of any other tug with this much fine control for trailer placement.

Don’t get me wrong… You’re one of my heroes… That takes it just way too far!
Nice easy to understand tutorial. Thank you..
Hey pretty cool!
What if they made a connection to the trailer to use the trailer brakes?
That shop is just way tooooooo clean !

I’m curious if you could use it in muddy environments
I would have to start work at 5am to get to the job at 8am. To slow for me.

@@TheSmartWoodshop So true! do you know if this works with an aircraft tow bar?
Thats cool.
wow thats nice
How uneven can the ground be without risk of popping off the ball and running away do you think?
Gotta say, that's just way to gadget'y. Some people will fall over them self's getting one SMH

One would push up a hill, not pull, use the trailer's weight to your advantage.
Too slow. Just buy a trailer dolly.
