The lencth of the towbar makes a negligable difference on an aircraft that size. Try towing a Cessna with a towbar longer than the wheelbase, Thats a Challenge!
BTW the 747 can be towed from either fwd or aft sides of the nose gear.

Jump to postYes, all Dash 8's flying DBA US Airways Express have APUs (100 & 300s for Piedmont & 200s for Mesa). They are in the tail cone, aft of the aft pressure dome. Hope that helps.
