TravelinJavelin 620 #6 Posted August 10, 2017 well if you notice on mine ................due to my girlish figure LOL!!!!!!!!! I had to set the back rest back on the rear to accommodate myself to fit and steer the tractor but I truly love mine I just wish I could avoid my financial troubles a little easier I feel like these are the first thing I have to part with first sometimes but so far managing ............it really kills me to be in the hole because these 2 tractors are my favorites and I think the 953 just a little more its a little bigger and more comfy for me so slowly getting the bugs out 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dells68 7,494 #8 Posted August 11, 2017 Nice video. Just got my 953 going this summer and it's my favorite horse so far. Notice I said so far. These things should come with a warning label from the surgeon general "Warning: Wheel Horses are highly adddictive. The only cure is to buy another." Wait, that doesn't make sense or does it?! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
