Default Tow planes and ADS-B Out

I realize our operational environments are varied, but what’s the trend for equipping tow planes with ADS-B out? The broad requirement distilled down is that it’s “required in airspace where transponders are required,” which for us is pretty rare. There are relatively easy/cheap (by aviation standards anyway) installs available, so there’s that.

Bare in mind that the biannual transponder check may be more expensive with ADS-B as new, much more expensive, test equipment is required.
