Key Feature
TH-5B Tow bar with ball hitch
Product description
Our Piper PA-18 Universal Towbar TH-5 is a light-weight universal towbar designed primarily for hand towing.
The TH-5 eliminates the mad hunt for the proper towbar when moving a hangar full of singles and light twins.
This towbar 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 Cessnas with wheel pants installed use adapter set P/N T-N182A to prevent scratching.
