Canoehead 106 Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 At the rate this industry is going, Jazz might be looking to sell the tractors and get into hacked-up Neons Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are modified to add extra weight to them but are very comfortable and better than any tow tractor built for purpose. to top it off they were less than half the price of a built for purpose tow tractor.

The parts are way cheaper too and way easier to source. There are dozens of tractor dealers in Ontario alone vs a couple of suppliers at most in Canada for aircraft specific equipment. I've spent many very long days in a farm tractor (no duty days) but I couldn't imagine spending that much time in a tug. PS I've never heard of a tug being called "sexy" but I've definitely heard that about tractors. I'll take the farm girls over the ramp girls (in general but there are exceptions) any day; 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
