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. 

 

My wife is like hmm savings account hasn't gotten any bigger. And I'm over here thinking welp it's not any smaller. We doing good baby

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.

A few years ago you couldnt give me a hydro

Ive only had 2 hydro's a GT14 great mochine but didnt get along with not having a brake and these 520H's with the Eaton 1100 hydro's which I think are the top of the food chain as far as hydro's go. Pushed snow last year with a 1257 4speed but had a HY2 unit installed and it will be very hard to go back to a manual lift and I think that is a big plus with the hydro's as well, hyd. lift

 Do you remember what your user name was? Or close to what it was?  
 If so I can help, don’t need your password as I’ll assist you with that as well. 

Pm me. 

Only thing I can recall is maybe my email it self.

Here is the deck I totally forgot to post on here 

42 inch rd seems to be in great shape. 

No idea the value but I think I made out good for what I paid on the whole unit

I had one of those. Keeping those front baffles cleaned out is a bit of a pain.
