redfordie 0 #1 Posted June 30, 2008 I was watching the Chevy Chase film - Funny Farm and noticed Chevy cutting the grass on none other than a Wheel Horse. If memory serves, it was similar to this (minus the chrome he he!) Has anyone else spotted a 'Horse in a film or TV show? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,569 #2 Posted June 30, 2008 It's not a movie, but I seen a Wheel Horse sitting in a barn on the Canadian HGTV show, Holmes on Homes. We can view it here in the states now on TLC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,410 #3 Posted June 30, 2008 Yeah, he uses a WH in Funny Farm... I think it's bout a 211-H... it's one of the smaller ones. I noticed it again a couple weeks ago and have been trying to get a screen shot of him on it, but haven't managed to find it anywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DMESS 24 #4 Posted June 30, 2008 As soon as I read the topic title I thought about Funny Farm. It was a 200 series maroon stripe indeed. :whistle: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wh500special 2,249 #5 Posted June 30, 2008 I recall that when WH had the museum in South Bend (now all the stuff is at the HQ in Minneapolis) they had as poster of Chevy Chase sitting on a 200 series hanging on the wall. i think the caption said they gave him a tractor too.

Curmudgeon 28 #9 Posted June 30, 2008 Like I have time to read all the new posts, now I'm going back to read old ones. I'd say again, but they must have been ones I didn't read the first time due to lack of time. Or maybe they were during one of my hiatuses. Thanks Jason, I owe ya now!

BPjunk 184 #10 Posted June 30, 2008 Yup This subject has been covered before only with some new additions. I am a fan of British comedy and in one of the episodes of "The Vicar of Dibley" staring the actress Dawn French there is a scene with a Wheel Horse tractor being sat on by one of the other cast members. Wild Bill in Richmond, Va. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curmudgeon 28 #11 Posted June 30, 2008 OH man!! I'll get way but I love the British Comedies!! I'm not familiar with that one though.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KyBlue 655 #12 Posted June 30, 2008 Also not a movie, but Dean Johnson used a Wheel Horse with tiller on Hometime. That is one of the reason I bought my WH - how well it worked for Dean on the log cabin project IIRC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wild Bill in Richmond, Va. Now that is cool. The Vicar of Dibley is probably my favorite of all my beloved British Comedies! Not on very often where I am though. Need to keep my eyes open for it.

wh500special 2,249 #14 Posted September 16, 2008 Digging up old threads... I was watching the Chevy Chase film - Funny Farm and noticed Chevy cutting the grass on none other than a Wheel Horse. Happened to see some of this movie the other day and the tractor is a model 212-6. (vertical shaft, aero headlights, 12.5 hp Kawasaki engine, 6 speed Peerless). The guide on my TV said the movie was made in 1988, so I assume the tractor was an 87-88 model. I had never seen the movie before and can honestly say I won't be watching it again since it wasn't as funny as I thought it might be. Nice to see a shiney, new tractor though 20 years later.

Brrly1 1,146 #15 Posted September 16, 2008 I seen one on a T.V. show about Blizzards in the United States it was on the science channel back I think in 1973 it was showing how hard I believe Washington D.C, and New York got hit and showed of course a GT14 out in the middle of the storm pushing snow and as we all know there are several ways to identify a GT wouldn't you know it I would spot the GT14 Have a good day Burly :horseplay: :horseplay: :horseplay: :horseplay: :horseplay: :horseplay: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
