FLtractor 151 #1 Posted February 8 (edited) About hour from me Is someone selling this Wheelhorse 8-25. Wondering if the Briggs & Stratton 8 hp engine reliable, towing capacity if at all, such as a Rubbermaid trailer with palm frawms and or a trash can occasionally.. probably under 100lbs total trailer and contents ? Turning radius and any issues? Seller asking $200.00. thank you Edited February 8 by FLtractor 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leabassett@sbcglobal.net 170 #2 Posted February 8 I had a Snapper version of that. It cut grass fine and pulled a trailer full of leaves with no problem. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ineedanother 1,995 #3 Posted February 8 The Snapper was a bit different but they're pretty cool little mowers if you have a smooth flat lawn. The Snapper I had would store standing up and turn about as close to 0* as you could get. Here's the manual for the one you're looking at.

Thanks for the first hand experience. Would you say being 35 years old, it’s worth $200.00? Edited February 8 by FLtractor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ineedanother 1,995 #6 Posted February 8 One thing to note is that those are not engineered to tow anything but as noted, you likely could run a light cart around a flat yard. You would likely need to fashion a hitch though because it probably doesn't even have something to drop a hitch pin in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SylvanLakeWH 30,969 #7 Posted February 8 If it runs, $200 is reasonable... yes it can tow a tub cart... I mowed my elderly neighbors yard with one for several years... nice unit... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the bar across the back is similar to what I've seen on other units that can be stored vertically. Typically with a 'valve" if you will on the fuel tank to avoid spilling when set up. That unit might stand. The one I had had to set down for few minutes to let the oil settle but was a neat convenience if your storage space is limited.

squonk 45,941 #11 Posted February 9 There have been a few of those for sale around me the past 2 years. Everyone of them the motor was junk and no it wasn't the same machine over and over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
