Nothing Still Beats a Horse

My dad and I stopped to see my uncle today.  He just changed the transmission fluid in his 2165 Cub Cadet and was having problems with it going into reverse.  

 

So I started to look for used and new tractors for him to consider.  It is just crazy what a comparable new Simplicity or John Deere costs today.  Some transmissions are not serviceable without removing from the tractor.

 

My Dad has had WheelHorse tractors for close to 35 years.  They have all been 8 speeds.  They are well build and easy to work on.  I know the challenges of government regulation and overall cost put an end to Wheelhorse along with people wanting zero turns and lower up front costs of a new machine.

 

WheelHorse is the best Garden Tractor ever made for the average owner's needs.  I know other good tractors were made, but Wheelhorse stuck to the KISS theory and produced quality products.

I my self am all about the kiss method.

start adding all the epa crap on these 

new machines require and you have to have a

phd to work on them . As far as the zero 

 

turns they are useless in my opinion! 

I love the old technology.!

Zero turns are great for mowing,  but that's basically all they're good for.  There's nothing a Wheel Horse can't do.

Zero turns can get stuck on level ground in a wet place. I have pull my neighbor out with his 318 JD. The reason for not using a Wheel Horse is mine are a 1/4 of a mile up the road.

The only complanate I have is the price you have to pay for these tractors now. You pay $200 to $300 for junk rusted missing parts. But Still I think the most poplar in my book. These still very much in demand. Just my
