Yes, the PowerBoss Armadillo 9X can be pushed or towed. It should be pushed from the front or rear using the bumpers only. When towing, it must not exceed 1.6 km/hr to avoid damage to the hydraulic system. If towing beyond this speed, the rear wheel must be raised or supported by a dolly. Tie-downs should be attached to the frame only.
