First Wheel Horse

Recommended Posts

turtlehead

Today I picked up my first. A 416-8 with a kohler magnum. Got a deck and plow with it. Couldn't get my old JD 111 out of the garage fast enough. Now I can actually say I have a real tractor.

Magnum 16 Kohler single cast iron engine with electronic ignition! Sweet! That is the more modern version of the C-160 series with the K series 16 horse engine and as many here will tell you and you'll discover over the many years you'll use it with regular maintenance, it is a very very good tractor that can use every attachment Wheelhorse made for that tractor with no issues with power/torque.

i think if you looked at the polls conducted with our membership, the single cylinder 16 horse Kohler powered tractors are regarded as a must own in any collection.

Welcome to the Forum. You got yourself a real Hoss there. It can take a licking and keep on ticking. Nothing like starting out with a real winner.
