Be wary of the US single wheel tugs (electric or petrol) which depend on down pressure by you for traction if you are contemplating towing on grass (which may be wet): I contacted several of these manufacturers and they would not guarantee good adhesion on wet grass.
Also the flimsy tugs which work by attaching a battery powered electric drill are worse that useless.
I ultimately bought a 4 wheel 36 volt golf buggy/cart from a fellow flyer for GBP600: he in turn got it off ebay for less than this but did replace some of the H/D batteries 6 x 6 volt at GBP 80.00 a pop.
Works a treat shifting our Arrow on wet grass: needs mains electricity though for re charging which may be a problem..........

Ask around at your local golf courses..........

Safe towing
