Does anyone have any experience towing their airplane with a golf cart?

I'm

thinking about mounting a ball on the front of a golf cart to move my
Bonanza in and out of the hangar.


I doubt a golf cart has enough power (400 lbs of people and 70 lbs of golf
clubs and 6 gallons of beer is their limit), unless the ground is level of
downhill out of the hanger.

Better would be a yard tractor.



Or a 4WD ATV.

I've seen some "retired" lawn tractors used after they have the blades
removed. You can pick 'em up for next to nothing. I would think (based on my
kids "experience") that they tend to accelerate too fast.

Some are suggesting electric golf carts, but I've never had one that could
carry my partner and I (he's 225, I've 205), our two sets up clubs (neither
of us carry one of those wimpy carry bags) and our beer efficiently. Well,
hell...maybe it's the beer we lug around?

Well if you two could agree on brand you could eliminate one of the kegs...

That and "why do we each need to bring six dozen golf balls?".
