OhioGregg 6 #1 Posted July 9, 2013 I had a video on VHS that I copied to a CD years ago. Its my 518H plowing garden with a Brinly (sp?) 10" moldboard plow. Video was taken in early 1990's. Not the most exciting video in the world, LOL But shows the Wheel Horse 518 easily handling garden work. Have a disk also that I used on it. My brother was up visiting, so he is on the 518H early in the video. I took over later. Used a Dynamark 11/42 Garden tractor before the WH. Havn't put out a garden in some years now. I used wheel weights & chains on the Dynamark, but never used them on the 518. Seemed to get along OK without. I have a 520H also, but never used it in garden work. Had the dealer install the sleeve hitch on the 518 when it was new. Have thought about switching it over to the 520. The manual lift on the 518 will wear you out.

Tankman 3,515 #5 Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) Great video, greater memories. How does your garden grow.....excellent! I can remember neighbors laughing when I rolled out a very old Horse with a bottom plow. Their laughing changed to amazing stares (couldn't believe what they were watchin'). A Stallion'll do that to y'all! Thanks for sharing. You did a great job with your 518H! Edited July 10, 2013 by Tankman 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 520 either, for that matter. The 518 doesn't get used as much any more. It only has 825 hrs. or so on it. Its funny, when I got the 520 in 2006, they both had about the same hours on em, 725 or so, the 518 had a hair more. Now the 520 has 1047 hrs. LOL The 520 is just a much nicer tractor to drive. Maybe its cause I'm gettin older. Gregg, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guess I'm just a dummy. My '73 12hp "No Name" Automatic is still runnin' strong (good as new). Every time I take this Horse out to wo....wo.....work, I am amazed! Todays buyers would never be so lucky, impossible. This poor "No Name" is equipped, even with an electric PTO. Hey, it's a "real" Wheel Horse! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leeave96 487 #8 Posted July 10, 2013 Impressive video! None of my business - but Wheelhorse videos are hard to find on youtube plowing a garden. I can find plenty of cub cadets, but Wheelhorse ones are somewhat scarce. Would you consider adding to the title of your youtube video the words Wheelhorse and moldboard and plowing. This would help folks doing a youtube search hone-in on your excellent video. Good luck & thanks! Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
