dandan111 31 #1 Posted February 5, 2012 Thinking about the game tonight and was wondering. Do any famous people collect wheel horse tractors? Does Payton Maning or Kid Rock have a wheel horse or two? Maybe one of the guys on the Gold Rush series? I saw a clip of George Jones on a JD one time,I think he went to jail that day! What do you guys think?

Rollerman 290 #2 Posted February 5, 2012 Cecil Pond presented Bob Hope with a WheelHorse back in the day. I'm guessing Payton Maning or "Kid Rock" don't even know what a GT is & would have a lawn service maintane there properties. I don't think of any of the guys from Gold Rush as famous (all though I'm a huge fan of the show) , my advice would be to look up Todd H on FaceBook or Twitter & ask him.....he's pretty good about getting back to his fans.

neil 2,409 #9 Posted February 5, 2012 I recently purchased my second Gt14 and it was owed by a guy named Wayne Hemmingway whi is fairly famous here in uk bor being a designer , he had the tractor whilst building his house and then sold it to me when he had finished the house. fortuneatly is came with a roto tiller Deck and a mid grader blade and all so a pallet lifter with the 3pt hich which is a real bonus to have had the implements come with it as well. It needs a bit of work but will be quite a good machine when i had done the few jobs on it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
