TH-5
Our TH-5 is a light-weight universal tow bar designed primarily for hand towing. The TH-5 eliminates the mad hunt for the proper tow bar when moving a hangar full of singles and light twins. This tow bar also has a good handle for pulling and a ring, ball or clevis hitch for occasional light towing. NOTE: The piper manual states that the tow pins are for hand towing. For powered towing we suggest our adapter set P/N T-P228A. For Cessna’s with wheel pants installed use adapter set P/N T-N182A to prevent scratching.
