pfrederi 20,181 #1 Posted 8 hours ago Previewed a big consignment auction today. Several acres of stuff. Skid steers Excavators tractors by the dozens. Lots of garden tractors ...but only two Wheel horses. a Charger (I think with a B&S engine transplant in the non running section and a 312-8 with a deck that was barely in one piece. Strange thing is the Father of the two guys running the auction had a Wheel Horse dealership. Used to be several WHs at both the spring and fall auction, been fewer every time lately. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brockport Bill 2,271 #2 Posted 8 hours ago obviously through time the remaining inventory will continue to lessen as they age and are parted out, or scrapped - then add in the volume or tractors people are hoarding -- so over coming years will be fewer and fewer "for sale" -- but then there seems to be inevitabilty there will be fewer of us to have interest buying them -- let's hope they live on as great machines that appeal to future generations - we have two younger families in our family tree who have them - let's hope that loyalty continues 2 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have been racking my brain to remember the guy that used to travel 100's of miles and buy every Wheel Horse he could get. I met him at the WHCC show one time. I think he was from Kentucky.

JCM 11,069 #12 Posted 3 hours ago I believe he is still selling parts but not shipping any. Sounds crazy. Years ago my WH dealer friend sold him most of the WH stock he had. Long trip to Mass from KY. Leo my dealer was here in Maine at one of our Meet & Greets. He's close to 90 and still goes to work every day. Super smart on tractors, parts and the history of WH. Very successful. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 17,072 #14 Posted 3 hours ago Okay, I looked him up. I remember now. He started a competing forum. Looks like he got out over his skis a bit and is liquidating. Maybe we should send Kevin down. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
