aaubrey96 0 #1 Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) So am I the only one that has their eyes set on a new horse to buy with my tax returns? I found a 416 hydro on Craigslist the other day and if it's still on there when I get my federal taxes back I'm going to go look at it.

Forest Road 593 #3 Posted February 15, 2015 Do it while you can. I tried that with a Kubota a few years ago. Wifey said she'd use it to dig my grave. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

'Bout 3" of snow last night, sunny 'n cold today. Used the Work Horse to push the snow, did a great job of course. Was always skeptical concerning Briggs & Stratton engines on Horses but, this '82 Work Horse 16 hp 2-cyl Briggs doesn't wimper at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bartl 0 #14 Posted February 16, 2015 I might be tempted to sell my '69 Charger 10. I've been using it to plow snow this Winter but it's getting a little deep so I've been using the snowblower. I'll keep the plow since it doesn't really "fit" anyway since it's made for a short frame tractor. I DO have a snowblower in pieces that could go with it. It's an old pix. Now has a Kohler K241 on it, not the Tecumseh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foozerush 40 #15 Posted February 16, 2015 Yep.... I set some back so I can assemble a dedicated "snow chucker" for next year. With the snow we had these past 2 winters, I have ran out of room to push it with the 416-8, I clear a lot of sidewalks in my hood for the kids to get to bus stops and home. I have it narrowed down to 3 choices.... 1- I like the small-ness of a lawn ranger ( summer storage) 2- a black hood with hydro lift. 3- a no name with a Kohler with attach o matic. (Maybe hydro also...), don't know.... We will see what CL has to offer this spring....... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,514 #16 Posted February 16, 2015 Is it possible to claim the Horses as dependents? Might the IRS understand the addiction? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SousaKerry 500 #17 Posted February 16, 2015 We wound up with a pretty decent return this year so I wound up buying a new to me truck and one of my horses back. Several years ago I traded a guy at work the horse for an s-10 pickup truck. Truck went to the junk yard a year or two later and the Horse moved to another friend at work. The second friend moved to a new job and called me several months later asking if I wanted the Horse back with all the attachments. I told him I didn't have the cash at the time but I would look him up at tax time if he still had it. I called him a week or so ago and asked if he still had it and he tells me of coarse I do I have been holding it for you. So $400 later I am once again the proud owner of a 1976 (same age as me) C-121 mosquito fogger, with a blade a basterdized tiller, and two 42" decks one side the other rear discharge. Oh and a set of tires with chains on them. It is parked on top of a snow drift, under a tarp, as I can't get back to the shed right now with all the snow. All the attachments are in the back of my 2001 Ford Ranger 4x2 as ballast until said snow melts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whfan74 2,015 #18 Posted February 17, 2015 Tax returns for Horses...........dang you guys are lucky. We are putting a grand in each of the kids college funds and some of the rest will be for a week long get away this summer to celebrate our 10th anniversary. Can't say I have ever bought some Horse stuff with the tax money, but have been able to sell a decent amount of stuff during this time of year! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 38,559 #21 Posted February 20, 2015 We used to be able to buy Horses for a couple of hundred bucks. but now with these picking,antique reality shows, hoarding, rustling, competition ect. we are forced to put away and save up over time just to buy an average tractor. Glad I'm not looking for more. Haven't seen a tractor for less than $400 around me for quite a while. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
