Redbird 1 #1 Posted August 6, 2009 When I joined Red Square, I had 2 ponies. A 312-8 and a 211-5SB. Now, in only a month, my herd has grown by 3 ! And, 2 of them have been in the past 5 days!!!!!! Added to the herd is a 1961 Suburban 551 (aquired from Les at the June show in PA). This past Saturday (08-01-09) I bought a second 1961 Suburban 551 with a deck. Today, I picked up a 1975 C-160 8-speed w/48" deck and Original owner's manual, and yes, it runs and mows beautifully! Pics will be posted as soon as I can take some and get them uploaded on PhotoBucket. Like I've told other 1st time horse owners- - - - - - 1 will never be enough ! :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nylyon-(Admin) 7,130 #2 Posted August 6, 2009 Very nice, these are addictive. The C-160-8 is on my list, as is an RJ / Suburban! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwgdog66 23 #3 Posted August 6, 2009 You are going to fall head over heals with the C-160. :thumbs2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redbird 1 #4 Posted August 6, 2009 Your right GWG! I already have fallen I got it from its original owner. The seat is in rough shape but it's the original one with the arm rests and the Wheel Horse logo embossed on it. It is soooo comfortable to sit on and this horse just jogs along so smooth. I can't wait to get out and mow with it. The heck with the housework :thumbs2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doubletrouble 10 #5 Posted August 6, 2009 I envy you! I would like to have a couple-few horses myself but the wife don't seem to understand why. One day I will just show up with another and another and...............lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duff 206 #6 Posted August 6, 2009 the wife don't seem to understand why. One day I will just show up with another and another and...............lol Uhhhhh.....another wife or another tractor, Bill? Redbird - congrats on your growing herd! Duff :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
linen beige 14 #7 Posted August 6, 2009 Uhhhhh.....another wife or another tractor, Bill? That likely depends on the current wife's attitude toward another Wheel Horse. Great news Redbird! :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redbird 1 #8 Posted August 6, 2009 Thank you guys! Hey bill-- if yor wife is outdoorsy at all-- give her her own Wheel Horse and watch the herd grow. I'm a Northeast girl myself and have always been around the stuff but never had one. My hubby gave me my own aftr we got married and the rest is history. Counting mine-we have a herd of about 15+ total. I have no complaints if he wants to buy another Wheel Horse. He's just gettin' a bit nervous that I'm catching up to him in a short time I'm hoping to see more women involved with Wheel Horses. Going to try to take some pics later today-if the weather holds out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
