The powered tow bar for your Piper Cherokee

Fits.

Piper Cherokee (nose pant off)Piper ColtPiper Tomahawk (nose pant off)Piper Tri-Pacer: Piper 2 Adapter 6208, standard or Pro frame.

Fits. The Piper Cherokee, Colt, Tomahawk and Tri-Pacer take the Piper 2 adapter (6208), on the standard frame, and the folding Pro frame fits them too. On a Cherokee or Tomahawk, the nose wheel pant has to come off, because the drum drives the nose tire. Warrior, Archer, Dakota, Saratoga and Lance: confirm with us. The Piper Arrow does not fit.

How it works

Three steps at the nose wheel

Hook up.

The Piper 2 Adapter (part 6208) fits into the Robotow forks and connects to your nose gear.
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.
Steer.
Turn the handle and the nose wheel turns with it. Follow your airplane's limits for nose gear steering.

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 Piper 2 Adapter, part 6208.
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.

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.
