Lawn tractor aircraft tug

My solution to light aircraft moving on a budget, a 14 hp Honda (hydrostatic drive) lawn/garden tractor.
The tractor is slightly modified by removing the cutting deck and blades (but keeping the pulleys) and adding a front and rear towing point.
The towbar itself is a length of 6”x2” timber with steel end brackets.
Thanks to YouTube videos it has 13 litres of screen wash in each rear wheel tyre and the rear tyres replaced with tractor pattern tread.
Tested in the UK on a grass surface just thawed from the morning frost, works great!

Hello, Can you show how you installed the hitch/ball on the front of your tractor? I'm doing the same thing and more ideas would be great! Thanks!!!
