AeroTow T1 Aircraft Tug Reviews

Highly recommend

“I purchased my AeroTow T1 tower for my Piper Archer. I absolutely love it. The speed and ease of operation is perfect. I love the fact it stays on, ready to roll, and fully charged continuously. Also, since I fly a lot at night, the LED bar is a real lifesaver at night when connecting and loading my airplane in the hangar. It’s a well-designed and engineered airplane tow, and I highly recommend this tow to any of my fellow aviators.” – Peter DeFranco, Piper Archer owner

Easy and smooth

The AeroTow T1 works perfectly with my TTx and makes moving the aircraft easy and smooth. The build quality is excellent, and it has become essential in my hangar. Highly recommend.” – Timothy Wilde, Cessna TTx owner

Makes it a one-person job

“It’s a very well-built unit and works very well. It makes moving the airplane in and out of the hangar a one-person job rather than having to have two. It also makes it safer to ease your airplane into tight spaces, minimizing risk of running into something.” – Glenn Weiblen, Cessna Skylane TR182 owner

I love it, but steering is a bit awkward

“I love it. My back loves it. I bought the unit with two adaptors, one for the nosewheel on the Mooney and one for the tailwheel on the Starduster Too. The adaptor for the Starduster Too is not quite right because it doesn’t fit the nuts on the tailwheel properly, but I’m sure I can get the proper fitment with a call to this great company. Fortunately, moving the ‘Duster around is still within my ken.

The only minor ‘complaint’ I have is that steering the unit seems awkward. Going straight is no problem, but to make a turn, I have to stop, reorient the unit a bit, make a little turn. Stop again. Make a little more of the turn. Repeat. Still far better than moving the plane by hand with the old tow bar!” – Scott Winick, Mooney M20E & Starduster Too owner

So pleased

“I just received my new AeroTow T1. I previously owned one for my Cessna Skylane and was so pleased with it that I ordered another for my Piper Warrior II. In my opinion, they provide the best value for dependability, effectiveness, customer service, and overall quality. I would recommend the T1 for any small aircraft tow needs. They are adaptable to most, if not all, aircraft models.” – Bob L., Piper Warrior II owner

Works great, had trouble with tires skidding

“My T1 unit works great! I got it back in June, and I was having trouble with the tires skidding on the epoxy floor of the hangar. However, I recently talked to the customer service team, and they recommended raising the fork assembly and lowering the handle angle. Right away, I could tell the difference. No more skidding… no kidding!

Other than that, this has been a perfect unit. I like that it’s very portable. It fits great in the baggage compartment of my Piper Archer. The customer service has been outstanding. When I bought the T1, I flew out to the Harry Browne Airport in Saginaw to pick it up, and they brought it right to me, fully assembled. I loved that they came out to meet me. It was truly such a great experience.” – JP DesCamp, Piper Archer owner

Looks great, works perfectly

“I met the AeroTow team at Oshkosh last summer, and they were incredibly helpful in picking out my new aircraft tug! They even personalized it for me, and it looks great! Now that I have had it for a year and it still works perfectly, I can confidently say I would absolutely buy from this company again. Thank you!!” – Courtney, Cessna 182 owner
