I came across Airtug in my search, but didn't see a trailer option. How did you choose it vs others, and gas vs electric?

It looks easy to turn from the videos; do the wheels drive independently to make it turn like a zero turn mower? The Trax unit looks like you really have to lean into it from the videos.

So we bought this one specifically. One of the guys I share the garage with is an airplane/helicopter dude too, so he was aware of the AirTug brand. We got the electric so we wouldn't have to deal with gas...that was really the only rationale. We use it for about 10 mins at a time and it works very well. Easy to operate with just one hand grip for throttle. When we ordered it, there were options on the website for ball size, etc. Came fully assembled and it was drop shipped. Quite heavy...must be a couple hundred pounds.

I have an older park it 360 unit. It works great. At my old house it was particularly useful because I could park the trailer nose in near the property line allowing access to the rear of the trailer in the winter. I could easily park my 2300 pound trailer with a 3500 pound car inside.
It's a pretty solid product.

Second in line if TGSmith declines. I'm very close to you distance wise and can pick it up. Thanks!

Got your PM, Scott. Sounds like the Parkit360 will work just fine for what I’m looking for. I’ll take it. I PM’d you my email address.

Thank you, Scott. We’ll put the Parkit360 to good use.

So sorry to hear about your condition, but it sounds like you’re going to kick it’s butt. Good luck, my friend.

Now to try and get the Parkit360 out to the west coast. Any Rennlisters in the NY area heading out west for the “Kahuna at Laguna” PCA Club Race / DE at Laguna Seca in July who could haul this out for me? I’ll happily pay S & H.

Thanks,
Tim
