Trail rides?

Recommended Posts

WH654

Has anybody ever organized a Wheel Horse or Garden Tractor "trail ride"?

I think it would be cool to meet with a bunch of people and see all there tractors work/run... I don't have another wheel horse yet, still looking but, just thinking of neat things to do with it, to enjoy it... Chugging along at 3 or 4 mph on a wheel horse through trails in the woods can be very relaxing and fun. Even if it was just a half mile or so loop it would be neat.

Hey Scott I agree with you. Every now and then i\I get the urge to just get on my tractor and ride around the property. The other day my hubby and I got on our Surburbans and went a half mile down the road and got ice creams :thumbs2: I really liked the people looking at the tractors and smiling. You could see, in the eyes of some of the older gentlemen, days past as they thought back. Maybe we can make some plans next year for a "camping/riding weekend some where close for everyone.

Anyone up for the idea??????

I gotta agree, just puttering around the lawn gets boring if it is not big. I have driven to town for a festival once, 3 miles on my 1054. Yeah, it took a little

while getting there, but definately had people waving. The town hosts an

annual Cherry Festival, spitting the pit too. Few folks putter around town

driving whatever they got, tractors or cushmans. The local Jonny Poppers

club (JD 2 Cylinder club) strut their stuff in the parade July 4th every year.

I do cruise down to the post office (1/2 mile) sometimes. Tractors do not have

to work all the time, they should entertain too. :thumbs2:

I have contemplated having a meet an greet/trail ride this coming spring. My wife and I have 23 acres in south east Ohio near the Ohio river. There are a couple hills on the trail that might be a little much for a garden tractor though. Not sure if anyone would be interested or not. If so I may go ahead with it.

Trail ride would be cool. I was watching some off road tractors videos yesterday. Im not wanting to hit any mud holes but it would be neat just to go cruising around. I am going to start cruising my neighborhood with the dogs in tow when I get my 418 back together. Load them in a trailer and hit the road.

As long as the "Hot Rodders" don't run us over!

i don't think there is enough room to ride in a porto potty! Some of us older guys would need to tow it around for pit stops!

Your 23 acres , is about 10 hrs from me,.......But that's not a prob. I'm in.

I wonder why the wheelhorse community is primarily in the north east?

There's a school a little south of me that has " take your tractor to school " twice a year .

You kind of do a double-take the first time you drive by & see 100 different tractors parked on the lawn .

 

I think the trail ride is a great idea & may produce some photos for an upcoming calendar ?

When visiting a very dear friend in Midway Pa. he and I ride many a mile

on a riding biking hiking trail that's just across the road from his house

Used to be a railroad and runs for many miles east and west.

Now Terry has permission to ride our horses ( wheel ) of course

Since no motorized vehicles allowed. You see Terry Yenko has CP

as many of you know. And this is always a special time for us.

As things are now, due to distance and health issues I can no

longer travel to Terrys, so this special therapy for us, sad to say

will not be for us again. Something we used to really look forward too.

 

GREAT IDEA !!!!!!
