Aircraft tug options
Avionics, airplane covers, tires, handheld radios, GPS receivers, wireless Wx uplink...any product related to backcountry aircraft and flying.
While your thinking about it, it wouldn't hurt to spend the $300 on a 110v free wheeling winch and mount it in the back of the hangar. I have plenty of other options available to me, however the winch has turned to to be the best choice in all 3 of my hangars.

I've had winches in a couple hangars also. If your only concern is pulling the plane into the hangar, they are an amazingly cost effective and easy to use solution.

I have a winch on the back wall of the hanger that works great. I made a front tow bar for pulling out plane when on straight skis. I use a polaris explorer 350CC machine with chains year round and it does great at draging planes all over the airport.

Okay, here is the TRUE pilot’s solution: Buy a winch and install it in back of the hangar. Then, buy a four wheeler just in case the winch were to fail.....keep the four wheeler at home.
Problems solved!
