Grandpa wouldn't line up in right way.  Stubborn. Nice day today, got some of my herd out. 315-8 w/42" deck to mow. D200 to disc w/tandem disc. 520H w/36" tiller. And RJ59 with 36" Parker Sweeper. These horses done me well today.

I didn't think I would but I honestly prefer the tiller on the 315-8 vs using it my 520H :hide: and I'm a very ardent supporter of ALL things 520H just my latest experiences as this was the first year using the 315-8/tiller combo, still using the 520H to pull the Brinly 10" moldboard though.

This was my first year using 520H with tiller, for most of my life have used 8 speed in low range. Just ole muscles makes it  tougher to use the manual lift. I was quite impressed with 520H being able to keep slow and let tiller do it's job. The 20hp Onan just ran with ease and the Hydraulic lift was awesome. I have a 417-8 with electric lift, I am rebuilding it with a 12hp, maybe next year I will have her ready to try out. I do prefer manuals over the Hydrostatics. But the ones I have do my collection well. Have the two in pics and a 78 C161 twin auto.

This is the 2nd time I have used the 312-8 with the tiller, and as much as I like my 520-H and 418-A, I am beginning to prefer using the tiller on the 312-8. I go in first gear low and it just goes at that pace. When I use the automatic's, it always felt to me that the tiller was pushing me down the row at a faster pace than I wanted to go. However, I would prefer a hydraulic lift over the manual lift to raise and lower the tiller when I have to make turns at the end of the rows.

Andy, nice job. Like your ole 80s models. I been running my tiller for 40 plus years always used a 8 speed. C141- 1978 til 2004. 315-8 2004 til 2019.  Always done great 1st or 2nd low. I always experimented with ways to help with the manual lift. The snowblowers always seem to lift easy. I am sure different ground textures would make hydrostatic run different.  My garden is well broken in so the tiller didn't push much at all.

Thanks! Yea I keep them busy! It does have the original fender on it still, but we make new ones out of fiberglass so I don’t worry about it as much anymore

C series don, this is what the sweeper looked like when I got it. It was missing the hood and I fabricated it and handpainted the logo. It was free from someone who was moving. Everything else was cleaned, fixed, and painted. About $25 in hardware and paint.

      Now that we are finding more uses for the 1990 520H with a KwikWay loader I am experiencing some power loss in the hydro after about a half hour to 45 minutes??????
      Ideas?

      Selling my trusty WH520H.  ~880 hours (currently used for moving snow when needed so hours may rise) very solid machine, strong and hardworking.  20HP Onan, hydro transmission and hydraulic lift.  Has Matt's foot-pedal conversion for forward/reverse.  Included in the sale is a tall-chute snow blower and 60" mowing deck.  The blower is in excellent condition and is on the tractor currently.  The mowing deck has been a workhorse over the years.  No holes but could use some TLC, probably needs new spindles at some point and could use a couple spots touched up with welder also does NOT have any pulley covers/protectors (see photo).  Tractor has been an incredible tool, very solid and dependable and I'm certainly going to miss her when she's gone.   
       
      Recent maintenance: replaced the plugs this summer, fluids as needed (hydro has about 100 hours on fluid/filter; oil was done in the spring and has about 25 hours on it).  Battery is about 3 years old as are the tires, Terra Trac tires on the rear and turfs on the front.  The seat (with arm rests) isn't in great shape.  I've got a cover for the seat, never used.  It's never really bothered me but new seat cover is included in sale as are 4 hub caps, chains for the rear tires, and some misc spare parts (see photos).  
       
      I've owed this machine about 8 year and put ~350 hours on her.  She's not a show piece but could be restored.  Sheet metal is generally in shape, no rust however the hood does have a couple dings in it.  
       
      I'm only selling because I'm trying to help my son get a small lawn care business started and looking to move to a zero-turn.  The 60" deck is too large for our trailer, the mowing deck lacks pulley safety shields, and we'd like something that mows faster.  My only complaint with this machine is the top-speed (which isn't great when comparing to today's machines) otherwise she's a beast.  They don't make them like this anymore.
