SylvanLakeWH 24,120 #1 Posted November 12, 2018 3 lawns later and the Wheel Horse gets to pose by its handy work... I love using the front blade to push the leaves - makes for a much quicker chore and saves my back! Especially when they are frozen solid like this morning... 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikey the Monkey 697 #3 Posted November 12, 2018 I was doing the same thing yesterday! Blew a bunch into the driveway, then pushed the pile out and down the road. Lots of fun on a fall day! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,663 #4 Posted November 12, 2018 It doesn’t look like it tears up the yard either, are you using the depth gauge adjustment on the lift handle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LengerichKA88 1,881 #7 Posted November 12, 2018 I used the Snapper I just got running to sweep em up, but after I got the blade on Hank, I wanted to play in the leaves too, so I moved my piles 😂😂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was given a blade, sold it. Wasn't a Horses. Interesting edge the PO made. Or, instead of the tire tread, a wide rake?

elcamino/wheelhorse 9,039 #9 Posted November 12, 2018 I use the blade to push the huge piles of leaves . I adjust it so it is approximately between 1/8 and 1/4" off the ground . Once and awhile I nick the yard , but it is faster than a blower or a yard vac. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use a blower / mower to get them to the driveway / street pavement - then plow from there into piles.

ericj 1,576 #11 Posted November 13, 2018 years ago before I bought my house and into wheel horses, I worked for an oil company cleaning oil furnaces, anyhow I was at this customer's house who had a wheel horse, which I thought was neat becuase dad had 2 of them, he had lots of tree's around his place. He told me that he waited for the leaves to fall and put the blade on his horse and pushed them all into the woods. I thought that was so neat, it blew me away. eric j 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
