A stong old beast is a 312-8

[Stigian 1,234]

Im always amazed by how strong a Wheel Horse is, and my old 312-8 certainly proved its strength the other day.

Let me explain

I had to move Betsie (the pick-up) the other day only to find her battery was flat

No problem i thought, just get the jump leads and jump it off the WH

A slight problem, only 1 jump lead could be found

Ho-hum onto plan B, tow it with a WH

With me on the horse and Garry in Betsie (oo-er) the ol pick-up was towed around the garden with ease

During this time Rob had turned up with a bemused look on his face when he saw what Garry and i were upto

To cut a long story short, or is to stop me rambling on too much ,

Rob was chucked behind Betsie's wheel, Garry in the pick-up bed with a video camera, oh and a trailer of wood towed behind Betsie, the whole convoy did a lap of the garden again

For your delight and viewing pleasure ( it might also help you if your trying to get to sleep ), heres a short towing trip around the garden

You should have popped the ol' clutch to get her started once the 312-8 got her up to speed! Nice video :thumbs:

312-8 old? Nah, that's a youngster!

If I ever get a "newish" horse it will probably be a 312

Well done,
