What you ironically describe is a rather widespread hobby among the Italian middle class 🤭. My parents (who have a construction company as their real activity) also have a small plot of land with a small Carraro tractor, vegetable garden, orchard and a couple of ponies, donkeys, a dozen exotic chickens, rabbits of every breed etc.
that's why they were discontinued and we now get chinese tractors at twice the price and one tenth the lifespan. china is now poised to do the same thing to our automobile and agriculture industries.
I have my grandpa's wheel horse. Great at playing snow and pulls stranded vehicles out no problem. Helped many of people and still putting along. I miss him dearly.
Love my old wheel horse, i have the mower deck, snow plow, turn plow, screw style log splitter that mounts to the front and a homemade tiller for the back, homemade weight rack.
I had a 10 HP single cylinder Wheel Horse tractor for 25 years. It did everything I ever asked it to do. I finally had to let it go, it was just plain worn out.
I've never seen, or heard of a Wheel Horse till just now watching this video, of course it made me want one, and that's when the misery hit, they're not manufactured anymore according to what I read.☹️
@@floydholder597 The old ones are still better than 90% of the stuff made today, I have a 520 H if someone wants it, it’ll be a fight to the death! LOL 😂
@@Musclecar1972 I hear you, it's like so many other products that you used to be able to buy and use fir 20 -30 years, or sometimes even your lifetime abd then leave for your children or a close friend, until some probable weasel in sales came up with the concept of "designed obsolescence". Now days you buy something like that and hope you will get more than a single season's use out of it.
@@floydholder597 I agree, I had 4 of the 520 H tractors a few years ago, I passed one on to one of my sons, and kept one for myself, it still works and rubs like new, with very minimal maintenance, fantastic machines, and my son is restoring his right now, parts are still available if you know where to go.👍
It looks like the motor was moved forward right over the skinny wheels that allows that tiller and his weight to maximize torque at the plow face. So it's not popping a wheelie and flipping over backwards as well as being a perfect guide to the next row line. And 3rd benefit: there's no compacted soil left behind since the plow is the last interaction with the soil. Ingenious and simple. Should be a very successful crop.
Try that on South Devon clay. It turns over but the clod is just as solid afterwards. It needs a spinning rotovator to cut it up but the machine wheels just compact it back down.
Haters not welcome.what could be better for the small operator.I’ve been farming since I was a kid.more than sixty years now. We had tractor no bigger than that to pull the horse drawn haying equipment.it was a godsend because we went from hand scything and horses to making life easier and freeing up time and the tractor didn’t require feed and vet bills.it’s obvious that it’s not for large or commercial use but a smaller operator would find it helpful.So don’t belittle the innovator. it’s how technology changes.
Has the little 196cc Chinese Diesel too! Impressive little engines for a 3hp rating. I have a new one apart on my bench right now that I’m balancing, and porting the head and prechamber on. The rockers were almost seized from the factory 😂
if you could get a cheap satnav system for them it actually would be a great option! many smaller units would be easier to slowly scale and a breakdown is a much smaller problem.
I had one of those. It was given to me when I cleaned out an old barn. The elderly man had said it last ran in the late 60s. I cleaned the carb and fuel tank ,changed the oil, and it worked perfectly.
When I was a kid, I had a tractor the same size, but it was missing the engine, the stability, the speed, the power, the traction and almost every metal part…
Camo Crocs?? Love the snap buckle on his suspenders - I’ll bet that doesn’t slip off!! I have driven past this place many times on my way to pick up I88 East in Joslin. One day I should stop and actually go to the show.
GENESEO!!! I totally enjoyed working an Eventing show up there!!! Awesome place, awesome people!! Breakfast at Sweet Arts Bakery every morning... my wife even rescued two kittens from there that were going to be euthanized. I still have one, the other passed away.😢
Tuff little wheel horse. Hey back when thise came out you fed your family with that and maybe a few neighbors too. Better days have already passed folks.
Ok, i want one lol. I grew up with a Wheel Horse 1057 that Dad rebuilt in the early 90's. He's still using the darn thing 😂. Imagine mowing with that row crop front end. It would almost be like a zero turn 🤔. I think the deck hangs off the front of the tractor though, i cant remember.
One more month and he’s finished the job
Then he's gotta disc
and his back will never be the same!

I’ve mowed about a million miles on a wheel horse since 1968 and it’s still running.
He started this field as an apprenticeship 17 years ago
😂
But he stopped and put on his geed bsg
I believe it is a Wheel Horse with the 8HP Kohler. I have the same machine with different front axle and no wheel weights. 1968😂
That's not a Kohler..
Chinese diesel
I love my K181
Try that on South Devon clay. It turns over but the clod is just as solid afterwards. It needs a spinning rotovator to cut it up but the machine wheels just compact it back down.
Our ground at the show is pretty forgiving
I mean clay isn't exactly the best for planting anyway.

Don’t have to be big to get the job done… may not be as efficient but will do it eventually
I love that! 😊 Very unique seeing a garden tractor with a dual front tire tricycle configuration. 😊
Dude is Croc'd and ready to rock 🤘🏻
He brought the party
Is this a factory tractor? I have never seen one like this before
I’m not sure but it was super sweet
He just put a narrow front on it. The motor is also not original
1 inch from tipping over haha

Looks like a bear riding a tricycle
It's a Wheel Horse of course! Got a 1967 877 hydro myself 👍🤠
A key thing to keep in mind is that he is doing this in camo crocs in leasure mode. An absolute clinic
I’m just astounded at how much work that lil 2 stroke is puttin in right now 😆
That's Awesome!! We just did a plow day this past weekend! The narrow front end is so cool
It was one of the coolest tractors at the show
That's a great little show to attend!
Yes it is can’t wait for this year
Seems like the Chinese Diesel engine is working well and matches perfect with the faded red wheelhorse
My dude decided after like 30 to 40 beers to fitel around and build a tractor
Looks like he is doing good work
Really was the star of the show
Literally say goodbye to your lower back and hip alignment lolol
*It's not the fight in the engine, it's the weight of the dog*
When I was a kid, I had a tractor the same size, but it was missing the engine, the stability, the speed, the power, the traction and almost every metal part…
But I bet it was still a blast to tear around the yard I had a 8hp mower that I thought was a go kart as a kid
Yes he does! This is a cool little tractor that does the job just as good as a bigger tractor.
belts flapping like a bird taking off to an international space station
Even the Crocs are in 2WD.. INCREDIBLE!!
No need for 4WD with this machine!
150 years ago, a little tractor like this would have been a life changer.
By the time he finishes the last row, the first is ready to harvest.
It’s really just a big loop he makes only stops
Fuel and food
That POOR Tractor is working TRIPLE TIME! FR
It’s was taking it like a champ
Riding a mower all cattywompus like this is a good core workout 😂
Back when they built a good garden tractor, that's much more than a lawn mower.
The crocks are what got me..
The crocs he’s wearing 😂

Excellent suspender snaps. Super cool tractor.
Yes it is hopefully this summer we will do a full feature on it
Look at the rubber belt😂 pretty bouncy
Seemed to hold up all day but yeah had quite the load on it
I bet he has alot of fun with his little tractor.
Always seems to be enjoying it
Its actually impressive.
I bet it'd be really good for cutting grass in that configuration
If only I had one of those as a kid.
I wish I had one of these, our school won't let lawnmowers for the tractor day
That stinks
He's gotta camo crocks on because no one saw this coming
Oh yeah! Awesome little Tractor! Makin the Stock Guy say : WHAT!?😅
