New here - 3 wheel horse tractors currently

[Tj_WH_Collector 17]

Hello y'all,

 

I hope everyone is staying safe and staying healthy. If not, i pray that you or whoever is afflicted be healed soon. 

 

I hope to learn a lot from the forums and hopefully can use some of you young whipper snappers for your brains (ideas, how to's and such). Lol. Btw i am only 30, much respect for the older generation(s)!

 

For me, well... If i would have found this 5-6 years ago, i would have said I am new to Wheel Horse. That is about the time my dad bought the 312-8 (that i now own). That purchase and talking to my dad about implements/attachments that i could purchase is what got me so interested in wheel horse. 

 

Like i mentioned, i started with a 312-8. When i purchased from my dad, it came with a mower pan and a snowblower (wrong model tho). Wisconsin winters were brutal and a regular snowblower was taking me 2+ hours to clear the driveway. Thats when i bought my B-100, included in that deal was a mower pan and a plow. Boy... that B-100 has plowed a lot of snow. I love it. 

 

I had also bought 2 lack luster tillers at some auctions. Well, that made me look for a tiller attachment. Found one relatively close and went to go look. $200 later, i had a tiller loaded into my truck and i had asked if he had the tillers mount for the rear axle. He said he wasnt sure, but he has a wheel horse sitting in the back. Told me to go look. 

 

I look over this 854, and there is no rear mount. Just as im getting up, he asks if i want the tractor. I said i only got the $200 i gave you. He said free of charge. And thats how i gained my 854. (854s hood is in my shop)

 

I want to start restoring my wheel horses, pretty paint, new decals, clean them up. I am proud of what i own. 

 

And now im looking at getting a D200 with FEL and a backhoe. Its a sketch time to buy but i could use the tractor for house and cabin work. 

 

Pics are attached. Please ignore the messes. They aint the prettiest tractors, but they all run.

  nice looking tractors, functionality is what's most important.  Beauty is only skin deep, or so I've heard

  Like WHX24 said your right in our area. PM either one of us if you need some hands on help with any of your 's.

 

@Tj_WH_Collector Keep in mind that so far there will be a tractor show in Pickett this year (the weekend after Labor Day). Would be a good time for a meet & greet for us.

 A meet and greet would be awesome! I love going to that show, i will definitely try to make it up there this year. Lets hope they still hold it and everyone is healthy.

 

I do need to get a slightly bigger trailer that can haul my tractors to shows. But question becomes what shows do i go to and what shows do i not go to? You see... i also have a soft spot for um... other classics... see pic. 😁😁

The way I see it you got 2 options..

 

Get a hitch on the car.

Or. 

Get a truck n trailer big enough to haul car AND  tractors to shows.
