doc724 925 #3 Posted August 7, 2014 I use my C141 for tilling, weed spraying, and sweeping the leaves. The 314 is right now only for mowing and lawn fertilizing. If I could find a tall chute snow blower for it, it would get some winter work. The 520xi is used for mowing, lawn fertilizing, snow blowing, and dirt moving either with a dozer blade or with a FEL. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedyleedy 205 #4 Posted August 7, 2014 I use my 312- 8speed for mowing & my 1054A for plowing the garden & my 857 for my snow plowing . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 15,409 #5 Posted August 7, 2014 I use my 1977 B-100 8-speed for plowing snow, hauling brush, and general activities around my wooded property. My other B-100 is fully restored, as are my 701, and 857. They follow me around to several shows a year. The Commando 8 is fully restored, but has taken to doing back flips with me in the saddle. She has been banished to the shed until her behavior improves. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KC9KAS 4,741 #10 Posted August 7, 2014 Just finished mowing my lawn with my 875. I also mowed the neighbors yard for the 2nd time this season. It has only been mowed twice, and I did it! GT-14 snow-plowing last winter, B-80 garden plowing.....The list goes on and on... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aaubrey96 0 #12 Posted August 8, 2014 My 414-8 is my lawn mower and snow plowing tractor and my 252-H is for towing my dump cart and more or less my bulldozer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
608KEB 795 #13 Posted August 8, 2014 1974 B-100 mows and blows snow. 1975 B-80 has a 42" plow on it. The 1975 C-100 sits there and looks pretty. I put maybe 3-4 hours a year on it mowing. At the farm I use a 1975 C-120 auto for mowing and blowing. I have 2 520 H's. One is a yard princess getting 3-4 hours of mowing per year. The other 520-H I would like to restore and use at home for blowing snow. When I get a chance to restore her. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forest Road 594 #14 Posted August 8, 2014 Mowing, SNO blowing, driveway grading, tree & brush dragging & chipping. Kiddy rides and pulling kids back up sledding hills. Irritating my neighbors..... Oh and pulling my Crewcab F150 uphill just to make a point . In general making my life easier and more fun! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retired Wrencher 5,438 #16 Posted August 8, 2014 99-LS. All of mine Are Trailer Queens. I only collect the 57 series of the 60`s. they are just for show. Some are not pretty some are original condition = Clean no paint Some are painted. Either way they are just fun to have around the house ride them at shows and in the back yard. ENJOY THE RIDE.

Cocky_Rocky 5 #18 Posted August 10, 2014 1997 267H for everything. It's the only tractor I own Mowing, snow blowing, utility cart hauling stuff, dragging stuff... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Navig8r 132 #19 Posted August 10, 2014 I have a ZTR for mowing, so my '94 416-H gets used at this point mainly for hauling/dragging! Tore down my old deck, and used the WH to drag the big chunks, and move the small parts in my cart.... had to bring them around front where I could get it all on my trailer to get to the dump. Next year will bring a garden (hopefully) so the tiller will get some use. I'd also like to get a singke stage snow-blower for it in the future, so I can give some rest to my 40 yr old Montgomery Ward snow-blower! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

papaglide 542 #22 Posted August 11, 2014 Lately, I have been using the 314 to cut grass and the 416(20) to cultivate the garden and sweep the lawn. It's kind of cool only using 2 tractors for everything. Makes me think that I could get by with only 3, not 6. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brrly1 1,146 #24 Posted August 12, 2014 It's easier to ask, What don't I use a Wheel Horse for? Basically I use them for just about anything, if it involves Manual labor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jrblanke 857 #25 Posted August 12, 2014 I also wanted to add that I use mine for grass aroma therapy. I work at a circus....I mean...a manufacturing facility. When I get off the mower, i can hold up my hands and say, "Look what I, MAN, has accomplished!" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
