Recommended Posts

What do you like best? Mowing, snow removal, plowing, showing or just riding around?

Riding around at the shows is my favorite seat time. Any seat time is good but at the shows is best!

All seat time is good.I would have to say moving firewood is the best because of how much time I spend on the WH's doing it.The latest effort is a 1/4 mile round trip.Of course harvesting leaves is second on the amount of seat time.

The last time I drove a Wheel Horse I was about 10 or 11 and it belonged to my grandfather. My excitement to finish my project is based in those memories. I’m 41 now and I decided it’s time for a WH!!  I loved any excuse to drive that Red machine! Seems like I’ve not gotten over that! Mounted the K321 on my WH700 tonight. I can’t wait!

I love mowing, hauling firewood is fantastic. However gardening, tilling, hilling and plowing just cant be beat!

Love my Horses. Mowing, plowing, pushin' snow, more.

 

My favorite chore, grooming, maintaining the Stallions.

For instance, polished the baby moons and power washed the Horses a bit (dirty frames no more).

Hey, at Camp Lejeune I polished my brass belt buckle, boots, M14, every day. Didn't mind a bit!   :handgestures-thumbupright:

 

My family loves Horses too!

I personally like plowing snow and using the mid mount blade as well. But I think the most enjoyable for me is seeing my kids drive them and the enjoyment they get.

Probably my favorite, because I get the most seat time out of it, is snow removal.  I don't mind the cold weather, and I'm always amazed at just what these tractors can do.

Mowing grass,only because I have Brand X tractors for snow removal.Also,when feeling depressed,I like to just look at my Horses.Makes me feel much better.

I enjoy the comfort of the heated cab on the 520H while blowing snow on a cold windy winter day.

I like plowing snow too but, no heated cabs up here in Michigan...

 

Something about Wolverines being tougher than Nittany Lions perhaps??? :ychain:

 

We also multi-task up here - Plow and Tow at the same time...

Right behind the PTO you can see the heat house that collects all the heat from the rear cylinder and pumps it into the cab.  It keeps the cab 30 F higher than outside temp.

I prefer to plow also Jim,  But some of the drifts require the blower.      Yeah, you Wolverines are tough on us Lions, but we'll see...….

Nice day to mow lawns. Poor ‘90 520-8 accomplished easily but, oh my dirty. 

A little power wash, filled up with 100 octane, low lead, no ethanol.

Time to rest in the sun and dry off.

All in all, pleasant day for the Horse ‘n I.
