Re: motorized tug
I used to use a lawn tractor and a Wag Aero tailwheel tow bar. Cut the "T" off the handle and welded a ring on and pined it to a Bracket I made on the front of the tractor.
You cam probably pick up a tractor with a bum mower for a couple hundred bucks.

Re: motorized tug
I have a Minimax Tug and it works great. It is not the cheapest thing, but very easy to use.

Re: motorized tug
Would a pull handle installed work for you. It really works nice makes moving pretty easy.
