Featured tractor 2025?

[PWL216 1,101]

Hey all. @c-series don did a fantastic job on his C-175. It made me curious…how and when is the featured tractor selected and who selects it?

[Sparky-(Admin) 23,208]

  I think the WHCC committee makes the decision at the show. I heard a rumor what it is from a reputable source, but would rather not blab (plus I could be wrong and don’t want to spread false news)

During his parade commentary Wild Bill said it would be the Work Horse models.

After receiving clearance to release and confirm this information 😂 from a certain individual, yes it is the Work Horse models. Here’s the confirmation picture!! I’m the proud original owner of this GT-1800, and will be throwing a 40th birthday party for it in August.

Well I can’t say I am real excited about that choice but I guess the “gray” headed stepchildren need recognition too… lol

Yep, I resemble that too--as do a LOT of the show participants!

 

It’ll be interesting to see if a bunch more gray shows up amidst all that RED!

I suspect there might be a run on Work Horse decals as a few WHs undergo a “redo”!

I like the Work Horse line.  The Briggs engines are under appreciated.

So would a Wheel Horse Workhorse with a Kohler transplant be ok ??  Asking for a friend

I have a work horse with a 10hp K series kohler. My Son has 2 vertical shaft Briggs lawn tractors. Decisions decisions for next year.

Ah ha this is why Bob Maynard is looking for a GT 1800 for a project tractor! Good choice for a feature tractor I believe. 

[953 nut 60,168]

How about a gray Electric A-60 with Work Horse decals  and a gray haired driver?                        

[Sodaking27 1,012]

I’m ready for next years show. Shhhhhh - Briggs is gone. Replaced with a Kohler KT-17.

 The guy I purchased the 1800 from bought it for the engine to put in his 1600. So I purchased the 1800 engineless basically. He gave me the 16HP which I gave away.

Nice!

Just in time!

My recent big show purchase.

I recently acquired  "Saltywright" Russ' original...from the dealer...black GT-1800.

 

 

Always liked this tractor, and it's story.

Super happy to have the opportunity to be it's new caretaker and honor the memory of our previous oldest RedSquare member.

RIP Russ

AKA Saltywright

That’s cool. Definitely one that would be a keeper.
