Butch 194 #1 Posted July 8, 2010 Below is Ken B with his son and Stevebo. Kens son was sad to see the tractor leave so I know what that is like. As you can tell by this pic Steve really loves these FORD F250 SD Turbo diesel 4x4s! I was hoping there was gonna be more of the "Bo's" there. Hopefully I'll meet the clan at next years show. I'll let Kens son take the tractor for a spin. My wife said his son went on and on about his dad and their tractors!! Here is the C175 in it's new home. It won't be doing any dirty work. That's what I have a 314 for. My wife has many many garden areas so she may learn to drive the tractor since it's an automatic. She's always using a dolly or wheel barrow to lug around peat moss, mulch, top soil and plants with. So now she can tow a wagon I have with the C175. She did say she thought I was gonna buy one of those cute little tractors (RJs) instead of a larger one!! I can't ride around on something that small. I'd get leg cramps!

Butch 194 #3 Posted July 8, 2010 The C-175 looks right at home Butch! Thanks Ken. I took it off the truck all by myself. I walked it off with the reverse lever while I was standing on the ground! Now that was nice. It didn't slip or anything. Now those mower decks they are some heavy suckers. But I did take the tractor for a spin up the street!! Butch S.

bo dawg 518 #5 Posted July 8, 2010 You got to love that machine. I know before I got mine from my father n law I always wanted one. There's just something about that model I like more than the others. The ride feels different too to me, and the sound of the kohler is sweet! Good luck with it.

jpmcleod 4 #6 Posted July 8, 2010 Sweet machine. I have one and love the hydro. I don't know about your's, but mine will "buggy" on down the road. That's southern for haul butt. Nice photo's of the family. Once the wife learns to operate it, you will have lost it. Might as well start looking for another one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's just something about that model I like more than the others. The ride feels different too to me, and the sound of the kohler is sweet! Good luck with it. You hit the nail on the head. It rides like no other tractor I've ever owned and it has a real tractor sound to it (and it does boot, scoot and boogie.) see it in action: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boovuc 1,090 #14 Posted July 9, 2010 My C-175 was my first WH tractor and I still have it and use it as my primary mowing/blowing/plowing tractor. Just the right size and horse-power. A perfect fit for that frame. Of course, mine isn't quite that pretty! :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retired Wrencher 5,792 #16 Posted July 10, 2010 :D Butch nice tractor I am just glad to see people using some imagination with photography nice back drop with the tractor centered just write. Enjoy Gary B..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butch 194 #17 Posted July 10, 2010 Butch nice tractor I am just glad to see people using some imagination with photography nice back drop with the tractor centered just write. Enjoy Gary B..... And that's about as much as the tractor will see. Not much more. It'll either be on the driveway unloading garden supplies from my truck or around the flower gardens dropping supplies off. It won't see dirt or snow! Butch S. Jersey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
