Fits. The Beechcraft Bonanza, Baron, Debonair, Duke, Travel Air and T-34 Mentor all take one adapter, the Beech 1 (6201), on the standard frame. The folding Pro frame fits them too. The drum drives the nose tire while you walk at the nose wheel and steer from the handle. The Twin Bonanza and Queen Air take a different adapter, the Beech 2.

How it works

Three steps at the nose wheel

  1. Hook up.

    The Beech 1 Adapter (part 6201) fits into the Robotow forks and connects to your nose gear.

  2. Squeeze and lean.

    Pull the trigger slowly while you keep firm down pressure on the nose wheel. The drum grips the tire, and the airplane moves at a walking pace.

  3. Steer.

    Turn the handle and the nose wheel turns with it. Follow your airplane's limits for nose gear steering.

In the box

What comes in the kit

  • The Robotow 2.0 unit with its high-torque, brushless 18 volt motor.
  • A Milwaukee M18 battery and the charger.
  • The Beech 1 Adapter, part 6201.
  • The instructions, and the Allen wrench for the adapter connections.

Already have a manual tow bar?

Keep it. The Robotow does the pushing for the ground work you do alone, and you steer at the nose wheel; your manual bar still works for anything the Robotow is not built for.

Not on the list? That is not a no. Send two photos of your nose gear and we will tell you straight. See every airplane we have checked.

More airplanes we fit

What it does, and where it stops. Robotow drives your nose tire with a knurled steel drum while you walk at the nose wheel and steer. On ice or packed snow the drum can slip or ice over. With a wheel pant on the nose wheel, it does not fit until the pant comes off. We don't publish a slope or weight limit: ramps, lips and airplanes vary too much for one number. Tell us yours and we'll tell you straight.

Ask the people who build it

Not sure which airplane in the family you have, or whether your nose gear matches? Two photos and a phone call settle it.
