What is wrong with using the prop ? When running it takes a
much greater load than you could apply by pulling !

Normally any nosewheel device is used for steering, not 
for pulling !

Having said all that I have a lug on one side of the 
nosewheel shaft, which protrudes through a hole in the 
spat and to which I can connect a long handle with a 
matching female for the lug. i use it only for steering 
though !
