Help with value of 520-H Wheel Horse and accessories

[M Robs 12]

Hello - Last year I inherited a 1992 Wheel Horse 520-H Garden Tractor and several accessories. I was able to get it started at the end of last summer and drove it around a bit but I am now looking into get something better suited for my current situation. I have absolutely no idea what the tractor and accessories are worth and would love some ballpark numbers from those in the know. I've attached photos and would love any advice as to what I should try to sell these items for. Thanks so much! 

The tractor is a 528-H model - 1992 

289 hours on the hour meeter

The mower is a Side Discharge Mower?

48" Snow Dozer Blade - Part No. 810746R1

36" Tiller

that 520-H appears to be in great shape - and I consider it to be 'user friendly '

( how many hours on the hour meter ? )

Hi - thanks for you reply. It has 289 hours on the hour meter - I'm sure it could be very 'user friendly' for the right user ha!

Unless you have a micro-scopic yard,why not keep it? Doesn't it snow in Colorado? First time you use that snow plow,you'll be glad you kept it.Don't know if I've ever noticed anyone posting nere from Colorado.

few garden tractors produced equaled or topped a Wheel Horse 520-H

 

this was the 'Cadillac' ... the 'Lexus' 

 

and now years later even less exist in this shape 

 

this one appears to be a real jewel 

 

and like most / all Wheel Horse tractors they are 'user friendly':  just use them (what could get easier ?)

 

durable as an anvil and little maintenance required

Thank you everyone for your replies. I did try to make this Wheel Horse work for me. I inherited it with a house I bought last year. I could not get it running so I had a neighborhood guy work on it for me - he was able to get it running but it took him many hours and lots of trouble shooting.  At this point I just don't know enough about these machines (or machines in general) to keep it properly maintained and I would rather see it with someone who will appreciate it. If anyone has a feel for its general value - $200? $500? $1000? - I would really appreciate it.  I also don't know anything about its history except that I'm the 2nd owner of the machine and from the outside looks to be all original. I understand that markets differ depending on where you are located - I'm just trying to get a ballpark number before I post it for sale. Thanks for any advice anyone can give me

Around here that "package" would be $1200-1500 all day long but we are "worlds" apart.

If you are really insistent to part with that beautiful jewel Iwould start at $2,000.00. But just be advised some day you will look back and say I should have kept that tractor. And of course the price I quoted would the tractor and its implements. Lowering the price is easy, not so trying to go up. Good luck

Thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it!

There will never be another 520 or Wheel Horse garden tractor made, as days and years go by, they will get rare to find, especially in this kind of shape. I will never part with mine. Can't go to a dealer or store anywhere to get this kind of quality in a tractor. It should be illegal what these companies are putting out in the field now.

I like that $2,000 starting price for the works...I don't think I would go below $1,500.   

[lynnmor 7,302]

So we fans can have a good , let us know what you will use instead of that tractor. 

[Guest 88vic]

I can't look.....I dont want to know !

Great looking 520 H I just bought one ,a 1997 with 48 In.deck,48 in. snow plow in excellent condition with 1300 hrs. and payed 1500.00, So I think you should not go below at least $1800

[formariz 11,987]

Perhaps @chev0545 will chime in. He has bought and sold quite a few of them I being one of his customers. He always has top notch machines and seems to be very successful at selling them quickly..

I'm with the Dino on this but up each by 500. That tractor is fine shape and would do wonders in the hands of a  horseman who knows 520's...
