WheelhorseBob 1,549 #1 Posted July 11, 2020 Hi guys, WheelhorseBob here. I'm fairly sure I was a member long ago but competing interests won the day. Anyway, I'm back and I finally have a life long desire fore filled. I just acquired a 520H born in 1993. I've owned a bunch of "Horses" over the years but I've always wanted a 520. This one needs a little cleaning etc.,but with only 318 hours I'm thinking it will be a keeper. Came with the 48" rear discharge deck and 44" dual stage snow blower. The attachments are in very nice shape. Anyway, I've never mowed with anything but a Wheel Horse and I'm 54 yeas old, I currently have a mint 312-8 with a 42 inch recycler and a 310-8 that has a 37" bagger for fall clean-up. Three Horses, I may have a problem...... -Bob. 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only problem I see is not having enough horses. Watch the Redsquare Herd section for a local gathering at @JCM's in a few months.... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WheelhorseBob 1,549 #5 Posted July 11, 2020 Eric, tell me more about this Maine gathering. I've been to PA for the big show, albeit 20 years ago. Would love to go to a show next door! I've been to the Tractor show in Eliot a few Times and have a project that was destined for there this year, 1956 Economy with sickle bar and cord wood saw. That's a whole different thing..... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WheelhorseBob 1,549 #8 Posted July 11, 2020 @Lee1977, It started a long time ago, As a child I used to ogle the Wheel Horse Tractors at Mears Tractors in Plaistow N.H. I was a kid mowing lawns with a lawn boy and bolens push mowers. Those Wheel Horse's looked Deluxe. And you know hat? They are! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
