Is anyone towing with an agwagon/agtruck. looking for info on fuel burn, climb
rate and towing speeds.

thanks


Check with Tom at High Country Soaring.
I used to fly the Ag-Wagon for them. A good tow plane, but it can be
tricky to land for the un-prepared.
Performance would depend on your field elevation, among other things.
The Pawnee would be more economical, and easier to find pilots that
can handle it. Climb performance would be comparable, the Pawnee is
lighter, smaller engine, less fuel burn, and any monkey can fly it.
The Wagon is wonderful to fly, but in strong x-wind, I would park it &
get out the Pawnee. Don't put a low time pilot in the Wagon!
