Dont buy cheap, you will get what you pay for from my observations.
I've seen the cheaper units for a few hundred dollars, my my neighbour has one , but they seem next to useless. If the ground is wet, soft like lawn or even a slight incline they just spin, plus some units do not handle dual axle vans easily. Having said that, I have an expensive unit of over $2000 that is almost as problematic, and very heavy to carry around and connect, does my back in every time I try to carry and bolt it onto the draw bar. Be curious to see what gets recommended, as I need a better unit.

Very very good advice from Phlipper,
Here is a link to a enquiry I made on here some time ago.
I ended up with the Parkit unit and it works well for my needs.
It has plenty of guts to push and pull
