[T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,799]

Good news, guys.  The name Wheel Horse and the logo will live on, with new Wheel Horses tractors and implements being built.  MTD has purchased the Wheel Horse name and logo from Toro, and will start building new equipment with the famed Wheel Horse name and logo.  Ridney Dongerfield, a spokesman for MTD, said, "Wheel Horse never got the respect.  MTD is proud to announce that Wheel Horse will be joining our line of garden equipment, joining names like Troy Bilt, Cub Cadet, and Bolens."  The new Wheel Horses will be built using MTD's reputation for quality products and is expected to look similar to a Yardman, but with the famed Wheel Horse logo, name and color scheme.

 

Prices to be similar to a new Cub Cadet, with several models being planned.  Models will include tractors with various deck sizes, engine sizes and features.  Expect new tractors to start appearing February 30 of next year.

Even if this was true I don't think I'd want to buy them since they would be made by Made To Die

This is a good one.  Feb 30 

 

I got several of the seniors on the robotics team with the old as dirt "your shoelace is untied" this afternoon.  They'd look down reflexively, then immediately get that 'I've been had' look on their face.

Even though, this was an April's Fool joke, Toro did use MTD back in 2006 and 2007 to make a line of lawn and garden tractors.  Toro stopped making both the Classic Wheel Horses and the Toro lawn and garden tractors in 2006.  So to fill that void, the contracted MTD to make the LX line of lawn tractors.  These were made by MTD with the Toro name on them and painted red in 2006 and 2007.  I run across some on facebook marketplace from time to time.  They looked a bit like what the MTD built Troy Bilt tractors look like.
