Raider12 13 #1 Posted August 4, 2008 I have seen a few of the GT-14 tractors over the summer. And from the looks these are a bigger chassie than those such as my Raidar 12 and similar models. Are do these tractors stack up against the rest? Anyone have one that can share some input? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WheelHorse_of_course 99 #2 Posted August 4, 2008 :whistle: I Have never seen one, but it was the first "bigger" tractor WH made. Bigger than what? Bigger in terms of features versus the C series (or its predecessors) , for example. I await the opportunity to learn more B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
refracman 167 #3 Posted August 4, 2008 I am a lttle partial to the GT14. It was Wheel Horses first true large tractor. It was and still is a very capable piece of equipment. Although it does have a few qwirks mostly the hydro control( harder than the rest to use) and a large turning radius, and the orginal muffler tended to melt the gas tank . In my opinion more durable than the D's ( fewer mechanicial problems) and with it size more capable the the C's exept the C195. Once you own one of these beasts you"ll understand what I mean. I currently have 4 GT14's a 195 and 2 160's.( and yes I've had a D)The loader GT14 gets the most use of all them. Truely a great tractor! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brrly1 1,146 #9 Posted August 5, 2008 Teddy, There's not much there my friend as I am just learning. I look to my buddies Steve (Refracman) and our good friend Carl who has been wrenching on these machines since the late 60's. Good Luck Burly :whistle: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tookies 0 #10 Posted August 5, 2008 I have a GT-14 that I am restoring and a 520HC to compare it to. The GT-14 is a monster in that it has a cast iron nose, large tires (rear) and a true cat "0" hitch system. The amount of metal WH used on them is incredible and makes the GT-14 worthy of restoration. I like that even in 73 WH had a fan on the Hydro and a filter on the tranny. On top of it all my GT-14 seems bigger than than my 520 HC and handles more like a tractor than the HC. Truly a unique machine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
