Thanks Sam, Very cool. What towbar do you use? How does it attach to tug’s front?

Details are in the thread I linked.

Not a mower but I use my golf cart. I just welded a bracket on the rear and another one on the front.

I just drilled a hole big enough to install a typical trailer ball to a riding mower I bought at a garage sale. Now I can use a towbar with the appropriate hitch and it works great. A lot cheaper than anything else on the market.



FWIW: my tow bar is a Brackett TH-5 which was replaced by the Brackett TH-6. I adapted a pair of 7" Plastic wheels to it making it easier to move around. I bought it 9yrs ago when it used to be a lot cheaper than it is today. You could probably get the same results with the cheaper ring hitch Universal Tow Bar.
