Airplanes are the same way. You tow them from the nose wheel, which pivots just like a hay wagon front axle. You face the airplane and push it into just about anyplace you want. If you try that with the rear hitch on the tug, forget about it.
I guess I'm not the only one who used to move airplanes. I always thought the airplanes were easy to move, short wheelbase tug and hitch in the front made it pretty easy.
With it hooked up to the back, just have to remember to turn the steering wheel opposite than you would with a trailer. A shorter wheelbase tow vehicle makes backing easier. With a wagon, it's like backing up with two trailers.
