Greg Parnell 6 #1 Posted November 3, 2008 Earlier I posted that I had worked on the 753 and it was really pulling good now. I wanted to get it to pull good for a reason... the Wheel Horse is going to church. I am planning to take my Wheel Horse and three wagons to my church and take the kids there in CMO on a Wheel Horse tractor pulled wagon train hayride. I've already done a few test pulls here with my son and his friends and it's working great now. My Dad built the first wagon for my son and the last two are Radio Flyers. Here is a couple of photos of the Horse and the wagons ready to go to church once we have a day and time set. I hope it's soon because I'm excited about this now. Kids and hay to be added later!!

T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,315 #2 Posted November 3, 2008 Greg, That's cool. How many kids are going to be riding? Where is the ride. i.e. parking lot, etc.? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greg Parnell 6 #3 Posted November 3, 2008 There's about 30 kids from 2 to 5 years old. There's a large open smooth grass field( about 2 acres) in the back that is perfect for this. I'm thinking about picking up a load of kids, doing a big figure 8( in 2nd gear) and come back for another load. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually drove my 552 to a few church events(3 miles from home) people think I am nuts because I drive it all over the place and down the power lines all the time. Should be a fun ride for the little kids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian1045 28 #10 Posted November 7, 2008 That's an awesome Pic! The tractor and wagons look really nice. I think it looks like a contender for the 2010 Wheel Horse calender even. :hide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greg Parnell 6 #12 Posted November 21, 2008 The hayride for the kids at church was a HUGE success!!! About 30 kids rode on the Wheel Horse Wagon Train Hayride and then all of them got their picture taken sitting on the "Little Tractor". My wife took the photos and the photos were handed out to the kids and parents today. Everyone loved it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greg Parnell 6 #15 Posted November 21, 2008 Here's a couple of pictures. The 753 with the wagons and hay ready to go Pull'n away with another load of smiling kids!! With 3 wagons and 6 kids per trip, the 753 ran strong. As a first time owner of a Wheel Horse I am very impressed. It was a little cold and windy and I give praise to God for such a good time.
