Aircraft Towing
Should an agricultural tractor be used for carrying out towing and ground positioning of general aviation aircraft? I am used to the tractors used in the commercial world so the sight of an agricultural tractor being used for this task is alien to myself. The correct tow bar is used however on the commencement of the tow the initial movement is more of a jolt rather than being smooth so the concern is this may place more of a strain on nose wheel components than a conventional towing/ tow bar-less tractor would. Anyone else had experience of this?
