Wheel horse high crop?

Recommended Posts

Mike4241

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

Got a nice garden spot there, and a good lookin :wh: too.  Wheel Horse never built one, but I have seen one custom High Crop build in person.  :text-imsorry:   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.

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!)

The tractor look normal the transmission pulley is still in the right place. 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.

He might have used chain and sprockets to give the correct rotation and gear reduction.

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

I'm sure everyone on Red Square would love to see you build a "Row Crop" :wh:
