Need tug, prefer electric. Battery or 110v cord ok! (I just had recent back surgery). Lancair 360 weighs 1800# or less. Gentle ramp. Just in and out of my hangar! Aero-Tow E-200 looks good.... comments??
 
Not a direct comparison, but I have a Tow Buddy 3000 for my Comanche. Only after adding a second deep cycle battery in parallel and changing the gear ratio by adding a larger drive sprocket is it up to the job. Moderate slope up to the hangar and a pretty good lip at the edge. I keep it on a trickle charger. Not sure how it's going to fare in the cold. You might be better off with a corded unit.

Overall, I would probably buy a gas powered unit if I had it to do again.
Ymmv.
