JoeM 8,443 #1 Posted January 15, 2020 When I think of Wheel Horse.... I think of Wheel Horse Tractors. I seen this Wheel Horse Zero Turn on CL the other day, looks pre Toro Era. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 67,068 #2 Posted January 15, 2020 They do pop up now and again. There’s a local small engine / power equipment shop that had one a while back, but they will only part out old machines. Nothing is sold whole. More profit that way I imagine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AHenry014 127 #3 Posted January 15, 2020 A pair of them popped up in CT a little while back. I should have grabbed them. They are probably a dream to mow with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gas Man 19 #4 Posted January 15, 2020 I wonder when they were produced? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JCM 10,251 #5 Posted January 15, 2020 In the 1989 WH brochure I picked up at the dealer when buying my 312-8 shows a model 724-Z with a 24 HP twin cylinder Onan commercial- duty engine with dual Eaton 7 hydro drives with a weight of 990 lbs. Optional attachments were a 60'' and 50'' commercial SD mower, 6 cu.ft canister vac,48'' snow blade, drawbar and 22x12 knobby rear tires. This mower was capable of mowing up to 3 1/2 acres an hour at a speed of 6.5 mph, also with a ground speed forward and reverse from 0-8 mph. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 67,068 #7 Posted January 16, 2020 So... @gwest_ca did Dixie Chopper build for Wheel Horse, or did they buy out Wheel Horse in the ZTR market? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 10,155 #8 Posted January 17, 2020 I could be wrong but I believe they were made by Dixie Chopper for Wheel Horse? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
