Mike4241 2 #1 Posted January 28, 2019 I've been using my 1276 wheel horse to work the garden . Plow ,till and draw rows to plant. I've been using it a lot to hill potatoes but it's to low off the ground to hill them once the plant gets going good . Does anyone have a high crop design set up for this .. it would be pretty bad ass 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,083 #2 Posted January 28, 2019 Got a nice garden spot there, and a good lookin too. Wheel Horse never built one, but I have seen one custom High Crop build in person. I don't know the owner's name or have any data on the build of it. Perhaps someone here knows the builder and can tag him for more information. 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Razorback 1,035 #3 Posted January 28, 2019 I really like that High Horse and hope someone knows the owner. An alternative or addition to that: keep your eyes open for a Speedex.... something like my 1631. It sits up high and has a nice tool bar on it. (And is a brother to Wheel Horse!) 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He had to use a reduction gear box at each rear wheel. A normal farm tractor uses two gears. He had to have a hydrostatic if he use just two gears. like a farm tractor. With a gear drive Wheel Horse you would have to use three gears to keep from having three reverses and one forward. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynnmor 7,302 #5 Posted January 28, 2019 He might have used chain and sprockets to give the correct rotation and gear reduction. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He used chain and sprockets to lower the rear wheels. Longer spindles in the front. Sorry don't know his name. He's always at the twin bridges shows near Chambersburg Edited January 28, 2019 by roadapples 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
