Hello all,
I'm looking to upgrade the tractor I use to pull my Z-10 Cyclone Rake. (The little Craftsman that could . . . couldn't) During my research, I'm learning that the Wheel Horse 520H is touted as quite a workhorse. The Cyclone Rake gets pretty heavy with wet leaves and I've got some small inclines that the Craftsman just can't handle. Does anybody have any knowledge on how well the 520 WH pulls? I'm also interested in knowing how readily available parts are for it. I know that they're not made anymore but wondered if there's enough surplus/aftermarket parts out there to feel comfortable in buying a used one should it need maintenance. I'm assuming Toro didn't make any design changes to it after they bought it . . . does anybody know different?
Thanks in advance,
-Dave
