So I saw this 520 on eBay and......

[nylyon-(Admin) 7,295]

I thought, hey this is close to Stephen (Tickster) and then I saw..... say it isn't true you're selling th 520 which pulls down trees? Well, it sure is a clean one....

[Rollerman 290]

Yep thats the one...there are no more trres here anymore to pull down so I have no use for it anymore...LOL

Nah..I am serious about buying a boat & have found one I would like to have.

However my ATV is not selling...to new & with 2008 Arctic Cats comeing out the 2007's are selling cheap...so my 2006 isn't such a deal I guess

So I'm going to let go of some tractors...the D200 went last night...I still have the D160 & it's a better driver.

But will be selling/listing a few more tonight as well.

They come and go...one thing about this area is there are normally more to be found.

Stephen in northern IN....buying & selling :P

If only Wheel Horse made a boat !

Maybe someone with more time and money than most of us could fabricate a couple of pontoons to rig to the sides of yer 520 and then some type of paddle wheel to run off the PTO...........

Mike.....too much imagination....

[Rollerman 290]

Mike problem with that is my wife wants me to take up a hobby the familycan enjoy together...no complaints from me...think it's a good idea.

But I think she'll have something to say if were out on the lake in a horse powered pontoon.

I mean when I'm on the lake in pontoon creation & she's on shore embaressed to be seen with me.

Ever been to a lawn mower race? Or a garden tractor pull? Both are very family orientated. Hey, just a thought, and a tease............

Stephen... DON'T listen to Mike. He's tried this Wheel Horse boat idea before, and I think we all remember how that turned out....

:D

[Rollerman 290]

LOL....thanks for the laugh...I was thinking something more along the lines of this....

Stephen in northern IN...PS sorry about boat pic in Toro area.

[nylyon-(Admin) 7,295]

Is that a cuddy or a bow rider? Either way it's nice looking, RED too!

[Rollerman 290]

Its a 21.5 Four Winns Cuddy with a 200HP "Toro" outdrive.

It's very solid & well cared for & hope the 520 goes $$$ big..LOL

Only negative I know of is it's actually an older style of Mercruiser IO W/electric trim/lift....I know nothing about these.

But will give my family & friends something to do on sunday afternoon's trailering to some of the many lakes around here

[nylyon-(Admin) 7,295]

If / when I get another boat, it will be a cuddy cabin. Gives some place to escape from the sun for a while. It's nice, I wouldn't think that the electric trim would be a problem as long as it works. My first boat had electric trim and it worked very nicely.

[Rollerman 290]

Karl thanks for the opinion of the E trim.

Been looking at so many boats & being told many differant things buy the sellers it gets all kind of confuseing.

Thats the very reason I'm getting it...my wife is kinda a "princess" and wanted to give her an area she could get out of the sun or whatever.

The deckboats are nice & fast..but windy & wet....bowriders are better,but came into a deal on this & I hope it all comes together!

Stephen in northern IN...thinking maybe move this thread to "non tractor" :D

[Sparky-(Admin) 21,354]

Now Karl...the tractor/boat idea is a good one! In that picture the left tire has a little bit less air pressure than the right side so she listed some and then flipped. If I remember correctly Orville and Wilber Wright didnt fly the first time either !!

Mike.....on to something here I think...

[T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,507]

Since the title "520 for sale" caught my eye, I hope you all don't mind if I turn this back to that. I took the day off today for a doctor's appointment, so afterwards I stopped by the Toro dealer in Desoto, Missouri, which is about 25 miles north of me. It's an old mom and pop shop with the old "Wheel Horse Lawn and Garden Tractors" sign above the door. Inside the fence there was a 520H sitting there, hub caps and all. I wanted to go in and ask about it, but I knew I was walking a thin line with the wife. Inside the shop is a restored 1958 RJ58 with a sign in front of it "Not for Sale".

[nylyon-(Admin) 7,295]

That sold pretty quickly, hope the boat is on its way soon!

[Rollerman 290]

He is suposed to be along Tuesday night to pay & pickup.

Wife & I are heading out now to look at a few more differant boats.

Maybe next weekend?
