I have been trying to buy a commando-8 for a couple of months, but the owner keeps backing out right before we have deal. They are light and small machines that get pretty much everything done! Bravo! Yours looks very nice! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCM 9,169 #1180 Posted November 28, 2021 @AMC RULES Said it best on the NOS 420 thread this morning. Wheel-Horse, nice to look at, made to work. I just can't help myself wanting to use this thing. I spent years looking at photo's of one of these , now having to walk by it in the garage all the time, I don't know how you guy's do it that own the low hour/ NOS ones and hold yourself back. Pictures today using it to haul firewood from the pile to the house and then rewarding it by a short trail ride to another picture with the first sign of snow for this season. 3 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,905 #1185 Posted November 28, 2021 I know this model is on many a bucket lists… but not THIS model…. Another neglected beat up and loose everything. The 16 hp thumper was still worth the price of admission! 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HP is not important. I want a roller. Not to build, but to do some experimenting on. Lots of things I want to try, but I am not going to sacrifice one of mine. When I'm done experimenting, I can rebuild it then. I have motors, wheels, tires, and a few other gadgets I wanna try. Wish you were closer. Actually, I haven't been anywhere for a while..... 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There isn’t a ton left on this that is of any quality. Two of my hydro units ran and drove but one seemed to have a weak hydro. I’m sending both of those transmissions with a buddy and another hydro tractor next weekend… but if I come across anything again I’ll keep you in mind 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen quite a few moose over the years. Two were genuine gargantuan.... around that size. From Maine.gov. "The largest bull ever harvested in Maine had a dressed weight of 1,330 pounds and means it would have weighed approximately 1,767 pounds! The total length of a moose is about 9 feet ..." If that dirt road is 8 ft wide then that moose could be in scale. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,130 #1190 Posted November 29, 2021 I've seen one that size crossing I-95 on our way to Portland, ducking his antlers under each toll station as he was crossing the road. Toll taker said "meh, happens everyday." 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
