Me and my brother was givin our grandfather's old 70's wheelhouse in the late 80's when he bought a new tractor .all the other kids in our neck of the woods had dirt bikes and quads so we fixed up that old tractor and went wheeling. There were many times that old tractor came home pulling a quad that wouldn't have if not for the old red horse.
@@BIBSTERSrepairshop yea it's got popular in the past 15 years ago but 30 we were it 😂 .just realized the stupid autocorrect changed wheelhorse to wheelhouse
Wish I had one. I can think of several ways it could help me out. Gardening Digging ditches Around my pond. Cleaning up the ditches Just to name a few.
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.
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.
Leave it up to the farmers! Business men, CEO’s, negotiators, business minded, investors, mechanics, self motivated, honest, fruit bearers of this Nation. Truly the backbone of the American economy. You may not think so until SHTF and you find yourself looking for seeds hoping that they are fertile. Don’t eat your seed, has so much depth.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.👍
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.😢
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.
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.
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.
Cool beans running the old wheel horse. Having a belt guard on there wouldn't be a bad idea but thats not the original Kohler engine so maybe thats why
✨👍. At least he doesn't have to worry about ballast weight 😅. They don't make tractors like they used to...Back then a lawnmower was multi purpose..I have a 1980 Allis Chalmers 5020 with front loader..Its actually a compact tractor with 2cyl diesel..Its a mini version of full size tractor...With 3point and pto. A little noisey but is a die hard. All metal and cast iron under belly ...
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.
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 😂
Wheel horse. I have two of them. A 702 and a commando 8. Both still have Kohler engines. Implements: cultivator, plow, mowing decks and a belly grader/scraper.
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…
Ship ild buy one. Would work great for people with a small home family size patch to work. An probably more affordable than other options if they were still produced
And to think there are still people in this world that think Bigfoot isn’t real. Not only is he real, he likes to hijack full size tractors in order to do your field work for you. Absolute menace.
Still have a 1964 804 Model with a Generator Starter. Still gets used for Mowing, Hauling & for Snow Plowing as well. Tough old gal, Don't make em like they use to.
Dude is the perfect counterweight! I’d love one for those, every spring I have to plow out vegetable garden with one of those that you guide in front of you but hold it with your hands and walk behind it. I’m not from an English speaking country so I don’t know the correct term. But it’s really hard work, even if it has an engine of course. Just holding it down and pushing it through the field takes a lot of sweat and time. With one of those little tractors I could do the work in not even half the time I guess, that would be absolutely amazing!
That's a 6.5 horspower single cilinder, I had that very same engine on a mini chopper! That thing could fly! Edit: I may be wrong on the horsepower, so correct me if I'm wrong please😂 What I do know for sure is that with that setup it gets a whole lotta torque! Which is why it can cut through that dirt with no issue.
One more month and he’s finished the job
Then he's gotta disc
and his back will never be the same!
😂 ya cuando termine de preparar la tierra se va pasar la temporada de siembra jajaja 😂😂😂

I mean clay isn't exactly the best for planting anyway.

He started this field as an apprenticeship 17 years ago
😂
But he stopped and put on his geed bsg

No need for 4WD with this machine!

That's not a Kohler..
Chinese diesel

I want to know also this probably isn’t a Brand, but I definitely found the name of the equipment
Brinly PP-510-A Sleeve Hitch Tow Behind Moldboard Plow, 10"
**mouldboard plow
No it's not. It's a bottom, or turning, or mouldboard plow.
That is a one gang plow. Not a tiller.
Crazy power from a small machine. I have a 1959 cub cadet with a 7.5 hp Kohler with external mounted points.
Nice!

This just changed the plowing job.what a great idea for a small farm
Talk about some extreme positive camber on those front wheels
A lot of narrow fronts are like that
That's what they should all look like. Yard Tractors, just have a mower attachment. That way you could do alit around a small home.
