Key Feature
TH-5B Tow bar with ball hitch
Product description
The TH-5 source lists a 74-inch length, 12-1/2-inch maximum opening and ball or clevis hitch versions. Its 4,000-pound maximum aircraft gross-weight figure is an aircraft limit, not the towbar's own weight. Select the exact hitch and adapter arrangement for the aircraft.
The source specifically distinguishes Piper tow-pin use for hand towing and references adapter T-P228A for powered towing. Confirm the PA-22 configuration and approved towing procedure before choosing an assembly. A universal towbar label does not override limitations at the aircraft attachment point.

FAQ
Can Piper tow pins be used for powered towing without checking the adapter arrangement?
Do not assume so. The source distinguishes hand towing at Piper tow pins and references T-P228A for powered towing. Confirm the exact arrangement against the aircraft documentation.
