I never had any issue with Toro buying Wheel Horse. Hopefully they respect this buy the same way. Toro was pretty faithful to Wheel Horse for the 21 yrs they built them 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeM 7,874 #2 Posted March 5, 2021 Looks like seat time will be slowly eroded away! Just think in 25 years owning a box store MTD will be considered "old school"! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,912 #3 Posted March 5, 2021 Huh. I wonder how the technology differs from small shrubs to weeds, boundary lines, which way the Joneses are cutting this week, where Susie left her dolly and The Beave left his mitt? Interesting piece of equipment for sure, but in a real world it makes me wonder how successful the job is? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hey they can tell a beaver from a mitt, know it's a dolly or just Susan. Just like the self drivers, punch in the coordinates and read a magazine electronic tablet. We have now crossed into another realm of automation. Seat time might just be in a adirondack chair having your favorite beverage or treat! Might even listen to the Ed K wheel horse repair weekly podcast! Edited March 5, 2021 by JoeM 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
