Rob R 951 #26 Posted April 26, 2019 Your going to love this machine, especially how it sips fuel and the grunt it has to push snow and/or dirt...… mu C81 is the best easiest maneuvering tractor I have ever owned! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glenn Glen thanks I am doing my usual and spend a few days and go over it. It never ceases to amaze me how some people do there PM`s on these fine tractors. But it is fun doing it also. At least I will know it is right in the end. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But everytime I look at the '77 B80 I think about taking it off the list , truth is it's probably the best GT I've ever owned and I've owned a lot of them in the past 45 years. Besides it's the C160's little brother. Very True Clueless. Always wanted a C160 but never did. Maybe some day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I now have both a B80 and a C160 up and running. I guess it goes without saying that the big 16 has a fair amount more gumption. We don't have any engine driven implements here so, The only place I really NEED to have something like that is during deep snow when trying to push back. My little Patriot B80 is certainly a strong runner. I can easily see the value of having both in one's herd. Edited April 26, 2019 by ebinmaine 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But when you need the 16hp like your self in the north =Big snow it does come in handy. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retired Wrencher 4,898 #32 Posted December 27, 2023 Boy I have come a long way since that day. I have bought many since then to keep or sell. This is the best hobby a guy or Gal can have. It moves me by keeping me active and of corse having a WRENCH in my hand. Enjoy the ride ever one. 1 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon Paulsen 282 #33 Posted December 27, 2023 (edited) Neat. Do you still have the "B" ??? I have the same issue with night driving. All the signs glare and the white letter on green signs might as well not be there. Edited December 27, 2023 by Jon Paulsen 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the reply. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the reply. Good for you! I still have my first... baby horse. I doubt I will ever part with it unless I become fully disabled. Starts right up, runs very smooth, and it fits between my house and the neighbors driveway. Big horse won't quite fit 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
