Cutlas3391 776 #1 Posted March 25, 2015 It seems like every year during the winter months I find the best wheel horse tractors models you possible can find and buy. You would think summertime more would be available for sale because of the warm months. Nope not me the best I ever find where during the nasty hard cold winter months. First one was a Wheel horse 520hc pretty rare tractor in my neck of the woods. It was the day before are big buffalo lake effect snow of 7 feet! Late November. Great score with 60 inch deck. Second one Wheel horse 520 with 389 hours that came in December also with 60 inch deck. I spend 3 hours digging this one out the price was right!! Trust me.... Third one was the cadillac the Wheel Horse 420lse came in January and I think it was -2 outside and I was the craziest guy at the car wash trying to get the road salt of it before I parked it on my garage. Awesome score never thought I would find one. Espically I thought a buddy was joking with me on this model but turn out to be the real thing!! also a 2 stage snowblower came with it. The 4th one not to rare but a cool find for me a 309 safari wheel horse snowmobile came out of Pennsylvania in early January as me and my friend went down he broke my passenger side window so we had to drive back with rain and wind going through the window lol. It's all good we made it back safe.... So I hate to day I'm going to miss this Winter 2014-2015 of rare finds for me for my collection. Also of course Ill never forget a November lake effect snowstorm of 7 feet of snow! still haven't seen any pics of my wheel horse snow team in any tractor magazine yet lol.......

PaulC 341 #2 Posted March 25, 2015 Trust me guys I am from the same area and Shawn is one of the TRUE Wheel Horse Hunters and collectors! These tractors aren't even available and some how he ends up scooping them up. They end up going to great a home though as you can see in his Horse Barn photos, ive been there it really is IMPRESSIVE!!! Myself and a bunch of other people showed interest in the 520H listed in this thread but after about a week of Shawn finding it he ended up with it. Hats off to you Shawn keep up the good work! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pollack Pete 2,273 #4 Posted March 25, 2015 Seems like I find them all times of the year.This Winter was no different for me.Got a C-195,no attachments, just as it started getting cold outside.Then came a 520-H with 2 stage blower.Then a C-175 with 48 in deck.Then came a brand X.It's a Case 446,came with a mower deck.I've since bought a 48 in single stage for it.Last came a 416-H with a tall chute blower.This is the best condition tractor I've ever bought.Hopefully Spring will bring more tractors to my yard.IF Spring ever gets here that is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you ever need anything Ill take care of you. Thanks shawn I know you do and I remember the story you told me about it. Do not feel bad I just mentioned it here to clue everyone else in on the awesome horse hunter you are. The reason I was interested mainly was because it was sitting there wasting away so now that you have it we can both be happy. You took care of me before and im sure you will again. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

papaglide 541 #13 Posted March 26, 2015 I don't really go hunting for tractors and the ones that I have gotten usually came during the spring and summer. They say good things happen to good people and Shawn is as solid a dude as one can find! Keep up the good work! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
