Hey all. I'm looking to surprise the wife with a motorized tow for
our C210. Robotow makes a really interesting thing that's powered by
a cordless drill.. It's a thousand bucks. Was really hoping to
create something more affordable. Anybody got an ideas or plans for
something similar?

There is a kitplanes article where someone made a tow unit using a windshield wiper motor and gearbox.

Just as a matter of curiosity do these things and to the wear on the
tires? I know they shouldn't, but do they?
