312-08 thats for sale

[ANTPER 207]

Hi Folks

I stumbled upon a clean 312-08. Nice condition. They asking 650. Is that a high retail. I know it varies on what part of country.

Implements? With nothing, it's high in my opinion. With a solid 42 or 48 that won't need work, fair.

[kpinnc 12,083]

Agreed with what has already been said. Great shape with a solid deck, that's a fair but not great price.

 

Check it over good. Tires, signs of abuse. Check fluids. A 312-8 is a solid machine, but like anything else, maintenance goes a long way...

  As you are aware you can’t post links to the ad…but if you can save the pictures in the ad you can post one or more of the pictures here and that would give us a better idea on value. 
  If it’s nice and has a nice deck then $650 is fair.

A running Wheel Horse with a decent deck is worth $695 all day long

[Maxwell-8 4,277]

In Belgium you would be looking around $800-1000 for one.

Ok I dove in.  I really didn't need this tractor as a have a 310-08 but its a sickness I have with Wheel Horse. I spotted it driving home on side of the road. The deck is immaculate. 3 blade. Just serviced, oils changed. 2 new front tires. Kohler which I love. Rear discharge with mulching blades.  Wheel weights if I decide to plow or snow blow with it. On top of ALL that he threw in a wood chipper in immaculate condition it that I dont really need and can sell it. I think I did decent. I'll spruce it up a bit more as a project and maybe sell it later. I'm such a cave man with electronics I'll have to have my daughter show me how to post a picture to this thread lol.

Great find, makes you feel better when the deal is worth while.

Wheel weights and a wood chipper? Sounds like the deal got much better!

One thing I do need is to replace the 312-08 side of fender decals. Not sure where I can find those only and not a kit

life is always about value -- not just raw dollars - that's a terrific value -- when we think what anything else costs, or we spend 600-700-800 dollars on in our life.... then correlate to that WH machine and the hours and hours of use and production it will produce over many, many years then that's a wonderful value, or as an investor or banker would say.... ROI - Return On Investment

For the future..When you figured out you asked a stupid question? How do you delete the post? Don't see a delete button. Haha

You can go back to one of your own posts and click "edit". Then replace the "stupid" question with "accidental post" or something similar.

Regular members have, I think, two days to go back and edit; supporting members have 30 days.

If it's bad enough, PM one of the admin/moderators asking them to "fix" it. 

[Bill D 1,926]

Sounds like an awesome deal.  Can't wait to see pictures.

[roadapples 6,983]

don't know what the chipper is worth but wheel horse cast weights are known to bring around $200. You did good...

[ANTPER 207]

I'm relatively new here.. Fill me in on difference between supporting and Regular member? And how do you get promoted?

 

Never mind I just stumbled across that answer.

I'd like to know what the chipper is worth, and your plans for it.  I might be interested in it, if you don't want it.
