Most of y'all prefer a manual over auto or is it more per task. 

It is per task the manual is probably more versatile because it can do everything. But the hydro has its place it does well for mowing, putting around, and pulling trailers for yard work. It probably does well at snowblowing as well, I haven't tried it though. 

 

For ground engagement attachments the king is the 8 speed manuals.

Plowing snow!

My neighbor and I were both plowing our drives. Me on a C-120 Auto and him on a B-100 8 Speed.

I out-plowed him 2 to 1. Consequently he promptly added a Charger 12 Automatic to his collection and loves it for plowing snow.

His 8-Speed is definitely better for tilling the gardens.

They are probably the easiest Wheelhorse's to work on. The hard parts are the hubs, hitch pin and steering wheel, and those are problems with almost all the wheelhorse models/years. 

I must say I don't even have any play in my steering wheel. I'm very happy with this. But just like the 400 series I had. I'm back on the hook for wheel horses.

For mowing and plowing snow, automatic is the way to go, especially if you have a lot of forward and backward movement.

I'd agree except everything around me is like a mt. Yards are all hills and crazy slopes. Manual works great for that for me anyways.
