Thanks Paul. There was a restored one in Somerset and the guy was looking for £1500 for it even though there was some detailing to do to It but it did look good but over my budget.
Hello Jack, welcome to MOM from Devon. You're in the right place for advice and you will get a lot of help from the Wheel Horse lads. Good luck with your quest.
Lovely collection of both WH and the CC. All you need now is a Bolens to enhance your collection.....
I need bought one last year in Dorset but it needed a lot of work and I must get my Bolens 1254 running as well as the Bolens Lawn Keeper when I collect it next week.
I am rather taken by International Cub Cadets and like the Bolens, they appear to have a good assortment of practical implements. I nearly bought a brand new Cub cadet last year for a possible contract. I was impressed with the range and the competitive prices aimed at contractors. Anyway, it is a good read.
You have a great collection OB! I would love to hear more about your collection including your attachments. I console myself with having a good collection of genuine Bolens brochures including the attachments. Mind you, I do have that Howard Bolens rear PTO driven cylinder mower!
I agree with Iain's comments about having more info regarding Bolens as they are rather thin on the ground here.
I traded one to the fella that is doing the refurbish on the HDT1000.
It also had a square back tiller on it.
How many Bolens do you have in your collection. I have seen some of your posts on GTTalk. I agree with Chris, this have whetted my appetite for more Bolens!
Yes both arrived this morning under separate cover! I contacted the editor to correct my address which is in hand and should be sorted for the next issue.
I just received my magazines from L> this morning. I read Paul's article about Newby Hall in Nov/ Dec issue and will have a read later on the Jan/ Feb issue. Really well written with some great photos. I would heartily recommend subscribing to this magazine to further your knowledge and I am sure those who have subscribed to this over the years will feel the same
Yes Saxon Trailers are very good. I used one towed by a Kubota garden tractor (can't remember the tractor model but it was made in the 80s and was one of the small ones) through the formal garden at a NT property. that the gravel paths were hedged on either sides with box.
I got a Sealey 50 l air compressor which is suitable for my needs. What's importance is to buy a quality air line and attachments. Also drain the tank after each use to reduce condensation inside the tank.
Trust me it's usually a mess! Mine is 1997 300tdi 90 defender, one of the last 300's Dad has also got a 96 300tdi 90 defender, we love them.

I love Landys myself but now got a Toyota HIlux MK4 single cab for my business. For comfort, I would go for Hilux myself but for serious off-roading a Land Rover is the DB.
Your video is on the U.S. Garden Tractor Talk under UKWheelHorse. I have already said I have met you and even driven the 6x6.You're getting famous over there. You might have to move to move over there to ensure your success continues....... I am told the gals just love an English accent.
I would love a snow blower for my Bolens; there are a few on the USA bay at the moment at tempting prices but it is the shipping that is the killer. I echo Ian's comments about the lack of snow in the SW to justify buying one sadly.
:D
Tractor wanted in uk (newbie)
