One of us will be able to help you find something that will fit your needs very very well. Most of new England south to pennsylvania north to Maine. I'd take a trip to the finger lake ny area. Ive looked at cubs an economy but I just keep coming back to wheel horses and how much functionality they have for the size package. And I'm not much of a mechanic but they seem to be good machines to be able to learn on. Thank you so much! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darb1964 1,042 #29 Posted January 29, 2020 I was looking at that tractor, thinking he would price it lower if he wants to move it. Has been for sail for a while. Keep looking, our area has a lot of red tractors around, for five hundred to thousand dollars that are much more useable for what you want. Keep looking be patient you will find a solid tractor that you can put to work with out working on it. Welcome to Wheel horse addiction. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very easy to maintain. That's why we have them in our acreage. The c100 I have here would be a decent candidate for you if I got it up and running but I won't be able to mess with it until April or May and it would be great if you could find one long before then. Keep an eye in the Pennsylvania and New York area. The prices down in that area normally are a lot less than they are in Maine and New Hampshire.

CCW 1,292 #38 Posted January 29, 2020 Taking a quick look at CL in the Hartford area brought up a number of newer WH for much less. Example: $425 southwest of Hartford - https://hartford.craigslist.org/tls/d/southington-ride-on-plow-tractor/7062990687.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stepney 2,325 #39 Posted January 29, 2020 The little RJ's are fun, I've been on the lookout for one around Maine/MA area for a while and haven't seen one with a 'real world' price yet. But I wound tend to agree they are a bit light for what you want to do.. So, opinions? Honestly, I prefer Hydros for dragging heavy loads, I find them far more controllable in the way of wheelspin. Not to step on toes, but the old WH Charger you pictured has been posted for, no exaggeration .. over 3 years. There may be a reason for that.. I have an old 1076 and a Commando 6 that may be possibly moving down the line at some point if nothing shows up. Welcome aboard! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With that short of a time line you my end up paying to much for a basket case. Not to much local now I think that will change as weather improves. If you are willing to travel you will find one in that time. Looks like a good chance someone on this forum will hook you up. Ill keep my eyes open, I have friends that know like Wheel horse tractors and call me if they hear of any available.there was a 520h just up the road from me,not sure if he still has it, not perfect but had a lot of work left in it.
