GiddyUP 3 #1 Posted February 2, 2015 Afternoon guys and gals, just wanting to say hello and get my Wheel Horse ball rolling. I'm getting quite "in to" outdoor toys and wanted to buy another tractor to run alongside my Westwood mower. I wanted something as a garden tractor, not a mower and soon realised I MUST have a Wheel Horse!! I went through this same scenario about 18 months ago and ended up buying a Grizzly 600 instead. Realising the error of my ways this has now been sold with a tidy £250 profit, hence the search started. Having two young children and running two cars blah blah blah, it's hard to justify expensive projects and hobbies so had a limited starting budget. This meant I couldn't really get the one I wanted, more a case of getting one I can afford, and £200 later I have ended up with a B-165 with 42" Deck. It's pretty tidy, and the Briggs twin cylinder is sweet. But it's green!! I'm pretty pleased with it but of course need to repaint it. And the other thing I have realised is the small rear wheels. They are bigger than those up front, but I'm hankering over the real big rear wheels. So that will be next of the list... Anyway, really looking forward to getting things underway (slowly no doubt) and any advice/tips/suggestions are welcomed with open arms. Adam 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
