Butch, I think what you see hangin' from the hitch is flesh from my leg. I was wearin' shorts when hit the hitch. :thumbs: Mark, like always great to see you and thanks for all your help. Nice herd of horses. :thumbs2:

Ray my wife, Linda, said she will most likely go next year even though she could care less about my money wasting tractor! I wonder if she has a hidden agenda. :thumbs2::thumbs:

Gotta get a tent and a tarp for the truck!! Maybe some other odds and ends like

a power supply. Oh yeah, I gotta finish my tractor to ride around on! Only 364 days left!! :ychain:

Time's runnin' out, Butch. Ya better hustle on that tractor. :thumbs: Just set the tent up on a tree root and I guarantee you'll have an enclosed hauler the following year. :ychain: I knew somethin' was up when you she told me to go out and buy a hauler for the tractors. It actually wasn't for the tractors it was so she didn't have to sleep on the ground. I wonder if all Lindas think alike ? :thumbs2:

It's a 595-HD. VERY limited production.

Does that R&D on the plate mean that that tractor was never intended to be sold

by a dealer and it was from the Research and Developement department?

Dunno for sure, but the lack of a serial number makes me think it was a prototype.

R&D usually means Research and Development. Being a prototype does make it extremely rare. I'd rather have a prototype than the first one coming off the assembly line. Can anyone decipher the ID number?

The plant in South Bend closed in 1993. Who knows what got shipped to Toro's headquarters in Bloomington, Minnesota, and what went out the side and back doors? :thumbs2: Ahhh... speculation is fun, eh? :thumbs:

DMESS

We actually got a lead on another one that is said to have the 3 pt hitch and rear pto. Guesstimate is that 3-4 were mocked up for possible production but ultimately lackluster C-195 sales deemed the idea unfavorable. Brochure and OM artwork was completed so it was certainly close to making the market.

I think I have this other one in the bag....fingers crossed. :thumbs2:

I know, it's crazy how we managed to potentially find the second one. I was talking with Ed Cole about it and some of the prototype stuff they toyed with just blew my mind. If the other one IS the 3 pt/pto mule I'll have died and gone to heaven. :thumbs2:

I think now would be a good time to put that 595HD on the market. I think Toro could do well with that. Anyone want to buy the Wheel Horse name brand from Toro and start making horses again?

Redbird

:thumbs2: Hey Ray! It was great meeting you and others from the club. The pics look great too. Thank you for posting the one of us racing. My camera died after taking a couple of the rollback and the tow truck, so I didn't get any others :ychain: I really wanted to get some of David (hubby) too, as this was not only our first Wheel Horse show but also his 1st ever camping trip. I'm hoping someone got a couple of him at least. He had the Raider 12, and the Charger 12 with the double chrome stacks. You know--the one that sucks the John Deere in the one pipe and spits it out the other :thumbs: Anyways, thanks again and great pics!

Hey Redbird, Great meeting you and David. :thumbs: I don't even have to ask if you and the hubby had a great time, I already know the answer to that question. Did David get his new tractor,yet? I hope to see both of you next year. Good luck with the new Suburban. :thumbs2:
