Nothing in a towbar is going to reverse caster in the toad suspension when you reverse, so it's easy to see why that concept did not sell.
Yeah, I kind-a wondered about that too. I'm no engineering genius by any means but, the thought of backing up a toad, that has free steering on it, especially around a 90 degree corner, much less even trying to go straight back for any distance is, well, let's just say, seriously perplexing. I'd sure as heck would like to see one of these "mysterious" tow bars. To me, it's kind-a like one of those "100 mpg carburetor" things. Sorry to be a bit skeptical but, anyone who tows all wheels down, knows the consequences of making a mistake in calculations and, the potential need for backing up. And, if someone made a tow bar that would allow that capability, I'd sure as heck think it would be selling way better than hot cakes.

Excuse me, but I think both of you misread the OP's statement. He said "the toe and castor on the toad had to be within certain limits and it enabled you to back up around a 90 degree corner.". I don't think he stated that the particular towbar would reverse the castor when backing up. Not sure how the subject towbar would permit backing up.
