oldiron613 583 #1 Posted October 22, 2019 So here's a weird one I wanted to share some pictures of, wondering if anyone else has ever seen or heard of such a thing. This was originally a mink feeder, used on a mink farm in northern Wisconsin (which is definitely mink country). Originally there was a tub for the feed and an auger behind the seat which unfortunately is missing. There are no tags on the tractor and although I certainly doubt Wheel Horse built these, my guess is that a 3rd party manufacture built and sold these using WH parts, similarly to what Haska did with modified Speedex tractors during the same time period. There are (2) transmissions; a hydrostatic trans to drive the tractor and a gear drive that would have run the auger. It's 5' long overall. I've seen and own the Speedex/Haska mink feeders, but never a Wheel Horse version until now. 6 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,408 #2 Posted October 22, 2019 Very cool.... I agree... most likely not done by Wheel Horse, but the industry company re-purposed. Be very cool to see it restored to functional glory. Curious about what's in front of it on the trailer.... maybe a David Bradley? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stepney 2,325 #3 Posted October 22, 2019 I cant really help much.. never seen anything like that. The steering wheel and trans design tells me its a 1965-66 design. But I must say, that is a clean looking SRV! 1983/4? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldiron613 583 #5 Posted October 22, 2019 I wish I could tell you guys what's in the background of these pictures, but I just received them from a buddy of mine who found this WH Mink Feeder for me, so I'm not real sure. Yes though, that other tractor is a DB Suburban; that much I know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldiron613 583 #6 Posted October 22, 2019 I posted these picture on one of the Wheel Horse Facebook groups and a gentleman just posted this picture of his that came off of a mink farm in Michigan years ago! Pretty wild to see the feed bin! 4 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
