     Let me think about this, I guess it would be a 953, but which one?

Perhaps on of these, or one of the others!

[TravelinJavelin 620]

953's and 1054's!!!!!!!!! and GT-14's!

The next one...and the wife is actually thinking of driving 3 hour away for some out of state wrestling  .

 

 I never thought I’d see this day but I’m not going to question her about it either  !

[Ed Kennell 39,513]

Guess I'm partial to the C series.

I really don't have enough knowledge of all the models but I sure am crazy about my 854's. I really like the body style.

854 6 speed on the left 854 3 speed on the right

Custom 12 6 speed.

I also like the c series, my c-81 is great, powerful for an 8 horse 

[elcamino/wheelhorse 9,358]

I think my favorite is my 1972 Commando 800 ( it a roller now but I have some plans for it ) , It was my Dad's and I got when he died in 1991 and it fits my butt.

[ericj 1,578]

in all reality asking me to choose my favorite, is like asking me which of my 3 kids is my favorite, can't do it

I don't know what has happened to me, but my latest thing is black hoods.  If you only drove the c125 I bought from @oldredrider you'd understand!  It's like getting on a brand new tractor.  And of course the c165 I'm working on for Emory.

[Adams94 1,068]

My C195 is my favorite but I am also liking th 520-8 quite a bit also!

I really like the 520's especially the HC.

I won't claim a favorite, cause it's like was said above; maybe it's whichever I am after/want, currently.

I have a short list of favoriteS though, that I'd like to own: GT-14 and any BlackHood (think these ARE a favorite, styling-wise); 953, and the C-160.

You could add any D series...but...with all I've read/heard of them....I dunno if I'd ever actually want to OWN one, though I love the idea/looks of them. I think it'd be beyond me to maintain, but who knows.

My Dad, more or less, believes there is nothing that can't be done with the standard Kohler 12hp tractor...and anything that needs more than that, well, they don't have "wheel Horse" decals on them; aren't any garden tractor.

He owns an IH 2000 that he restored, with FEL and 3-point, for those types of chores.

 

He may be right...Lord knows I've seen him do things with those 10 and 12hp WH's that I wouldn't have thought possible....

But where is the fun in only 1 tractor, I ask you?

Side note: I do currently have only 1, my '92 312-8 that he recently gave me---it'll be the last tractor i'll ever sell, if that says anything definite

 

 

 

[Elkskin's mower junkyard 1,117]

my favorites are the 701 and then the 502 i redone for dad before he passed. i really miss him

[ClassicTractorProfessor 5,362]

My C125 is my go-to tractor, but my favorite out of all the ones I own would have to be my C141. My elderly friend who first introduced me to Wheel Horse tractors bought it brand new, traded it to another friend of his, and then all these years later I ended up with it, so it will always be special and my favorite due to the story behind it. It's quite the ugly little machine now, but someday it will get a full restoration and love the rest of it's years in peaceful retirement

[Lee1977 6,898]

My favorite is my C-120/180. I bought it new in 1977. It's been modified, every bearing has been placed at least once. It's was painted about 10 years ago, tapped up and save the original decals. The 12 horse Kohler could not take all the banks and hills that I mow.

Any model that runs and drives Also that does not have safety switches. They can be a pain.  

[Mike'sHorseBarn 3,036]

My 855 is by far my most favorite Wheel Horse. There is nothing on this tractor that I didn't go over!

 

[PeacemakerJack 10,742]

I agree with th above posts that it is hard to pick one.  I like all the “Big Wheel” tractors,  certainly the round hoods, but the smoothness of my 314-8 is also hard to ignore. However, my all time favorite   is the one that I grew up with—

the 875! (Me at 6 years old holding my baby brother)

Me this last July 4th on the same machine!  

I don’t choose it just because it has been part of my entire life.  I choose it because it is a compact, yet durable machine that has a very forward thinking design for 1965.  The designers knocked it out of the park with this little tractor and it will always have a special place in my heart!
