The Trailer Valet RVR 9 is a fantastic tug for moving around 9000# trailers safely with ease. Ron’s Amazon Store. www.paulkhomes.... Paulk Plans: stores.modularm...
This year's equipment budget went to a towable hydraulic lift. Now I know what next year's big purchase will be. With an RVR 9 I'll be able to move that lift to places where the truck won't fit. Thanks, Ron.
This is pretty close to what I pictured when I thought of this idea. I was planning to make mine a bit longer with a barstool seat on it so I could use my weight to give it more traction. I would also use large lead acid batteries and make it 300# instead of 75#. I doubt I could build it for less than this cost though.
If I were the distributor I would worry about people losing their trailers down hills and possibly causing harm. It needs a way to apply electric trailer brakes when needed. You would expect that someone who would buy this would be smart enough to keep it off of hills but it will eventually happen.
I wonder how long before you back it into the garage wall. I bet it leaves a big hole. More batteries in the trailer and a bigger Binford Motor you could ride the trailer to your jobsite. All joking aside, I know a time I would happily pay for that tug.
The price is fair for what you get. Don't be sucked into judging by size. I have a friend with 3 tugs for his planes and the cheapest one was 7K. This 75# robot will tow 9,000#😎🤙
Not a gadget at all. It is very functional and I would get one if I towed more often. I don't know of any other tug with this much fine control for trailer placement.
