I’ve owned a Best Tugs A3 for about 5 years for my Maule MX-7-180 tail dragger. It works great! I have the knobby tires and LED headlight options. Before that I had a gas powered Taildragger Dragger. The A3 is much easier to use, lighter, quieter and lower-maintenance. It’s not inexpensive but the quality is there. The only criticism that I have is that the batteries were hard to change after 4 years since there are several large Velcro strips on their bottoms that make them hard to remove. I think they could do a better job with the charging cable that hangs down below the handle. Other than that, it’s perfect for my airplane. You do have to pick it up and move it when turning sharply but that’s not hard.

The fact that the attach arms popped off is problem for me. I had same problem with my EZ-Power Tow tug. I switched to Redline Sidewinder for my Bonanza and could not be happier. I have not used the Sidewinder on an icy ramp, but no issues with wet ramp. I think an icy ramp is problematic for any tug or even manual aircraft movement.
