JoeM 8,272 #1 Posted April 8, 2024 About Wheel Horse tractors. I think there are two things in my mind that contribute the most. One is the simplicity of design. Easy to work on. The next is value. Even with the high price tags when new, they have a high level of unpaired soundness. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kpinnc 14,552 #13 Posted April 9, 2024 I like my tractors like women: 1. Beautiful, but strong. 2. Dependable 3. Easy to work with. 4. Not afraid to get dirty. 5. Able to carry my whipped @ss back to the house when I do something stupid... 6. And just for fun- they don't mind if I have more than one tractor... I'm joking of course. I have three adult daughters, and my only sibling (my sister)- so I've had many years of training on how to rile them up over nothing. 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe I've done well in life accomplishing that list. #6. BBT not only don't mind. She has 5½ of her own! On your end... seems to me there was a recent mention that you tend to need the "carrying" help near to daily. Hence, to accommodate your #5 a female woman person would really need to accel at the second half of #1. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
