I've driven them when I worked at an airport in the late 70's through 86. That is a relatively light tug, and it won't pull if you get it off of pavement. ;)

Ok, how many people have driven an airplane tug off of the road and gotten it stuck? Anyone? Anyone? Ok, I see one hand.

this one has tractor tires on it, I'm sure the one's that you used has tires for the pavement, which are not meant for off-pavement use.

Many times. A local farmer used one to pull a rake, baler, etc. It had highway tread tires. I pulled it out of sandy spots many times with my JD model LA.

Pretty much every person that's ever driven an aircraft tug has gotten it stuck. Just like fork lifts. ;)

It will suck off road. They have very little ground clearance as well.
