sure put it in low and tow away i would not suggest towing for a long distance but you could get some one un stuck
and for a tow strap you could use a tie down or something like that

I've seen buggies pull alot of things, just need to be careful about it. Whatever you do - never use tie down straps to try to pull someone out. They may be ok for towing, but will break when put under the stress of attempting to pull someone out - trust me on this one, nearly lost my head when a tie down strap broke while trying to get pulled out of the mud.
As for tow straps, I carry a couple from Harbor Freight:

You can put an electrical winch on your buggy but I prefer the flexibility of using a come-along. You can hook the come along anywhere on the frame and pull as necessary. Again from Harbor Freight:
