I have a 520h. It's a darn good tractor. I have several attachments for it, and is becoming more and more a workhorse around the farm

Awesome video. This really makes me want to dig out the two 520Hs that were my grandma's and get them running again. She made a lot of memories for me and my sister with those tractors.

It's a shame they don't make them like this any more. These late 80s early 90s were the ultimate garden tractors. My grandma has a 418a. It still runs. And my dad used to have a 312-8

The only reason they probably dont make them anymore is probably because people dont want a 4,000$ garden tractor when they can buy a 1,600$ because no one wants a garden tractor anymore

I’ve owned 252-H’s, 266-H’s and now three 5xi’s but none of that series. The 5xi’s are like a Cadillac but a bit over complicated if you ask me. Toro could have sold more if they offered a 3pt hitch. I run the Toro 5xi Facebook page and I have the hood from the Toro 5xi prototype tractor in one of my videos.
@WildHorsesOfCourse4 жыл бұрын
For some reason Wheel Horse (and then Toro after they bought Wheel Horse) always struggled in the larger tractor market. Wheel Horse had the D series which had a 3 point hitch and PTO, also the C-195 which was a later model had a 3 point hitch and a PTO. They were all expensive tractors and they didn't sell well. I think Deere and Kubota were always a step ahead. The gray area market between a small farm tractor and a garden tractor has always been a hard place to sell a tractor. People want to work it like a farm tractor and have it not cost much more than a garden tractor. Just my 2 cents.
@johnnyguilliams51863 жыл бұрын
Have a 520-H that i mow with and a spare 520-H for parts that is really in condition to mow with. Put a Honda engine on it because the onan kept dropping valve seats and then broke a rod. Very strong mowers.

Is there an easier way to put on the 60 inch deck? Because I stuggle to get mine on and off.
@WildHorsesOfCourse5 жыл бұрын
Drop the deck height adjustment lever as low as it will go, place a couple of 1-2' long 2x4's down where the wheels lineup and drive over the deck. It helps to have the deck on gravel or grass, as it may slide on concrete. Also I tend to not take the deck off unless absolutely necessary, you can jack the whole mower up to clean the deck and change/sharpen the blades. Hope this helps!
@cyrusullmann99175 жыл бұрын
@@WildHorsesOfCourse ok so as I suspected you are supposed to drive over the deck. And when you say to place the 2x4 boards down, are you saying put them behind the deck wheels to allow the tractor to move over the deck easier? Anyway thanks for the response.
@WildHorsesOfCourse5 жыл бұрын
I'm not sure that you're "supposed to" per say but yes it does make it easier. Yes put the 2x4's down so the front wheels can climb over the deck without scooting the deck, hopefully.
