Big Sale Has Started - UPDATED 07-31-25 (01 Apr 2025)

As some of you know my dad passed away 2 months ago today, on May 31, 2025. I posted it in the Members Only section when it happened. Thanks to all of you who have offered kind words on the forum, with phone calls, and visits in person during this time.

The Big Sale is on but not like originally planned, it is a by appointment type of thing now. I don't have the manpower, or the desire to do a big event like originally planned, I just need to sell a lot of parts that are taking up too much space here. I have been told and believe we are overloaded with Wheel Horse parts like no one has ever seen. Peeps have already been coming in from different parts of the country and buying a lot of stuff due to seeing the sale page, and seeing we are the only Wheel Horse only business in the USA that does things on the scale we do. The sale will continue for awhile until I free up some more space but you may not want to wait too long as things are being sold every day and there are limits to how many of certain parts will be sold.

As it says on the page it is still under construction and the page isn't finished yet. I've had a ton of calls for parts and the Big Sale Page may help answer some questions about what is here before peeps call. I hope that page is also clear that we DO NOT SHIP anything... This is a by appointment type of thing now. Be sure to call before you come to make sure the day isn't already full with peeps scheduled to come in, and make sure what you want is still available.

We've been planning on building one of these for years but this one showed up on CL for 100.00 delivered and couldn't pass it up. It already has a lot of steel in it, a bulldozer ram, a controller and axle, good bones to start with. We're gonna start stripping it down and make it hook to a tractor. Dad and I always spit with an axe, it's good exercise and good for us, but when we have to get out wedges we'll get this out instead. :whew

Great deal for a hundo,
Flip it over and mount it to forks, hook it up to mellow yellows hydro, drop down on the log and pull the trigger. :bliss

That honker must weigh a ton, literally. Lots of potential there for sure and it'll beat the heck out of driving wedges!

Good idea GT but the wood resides at the farm. :) We cut a year ahead or more and store it in a barn over there, cut split, stacked, and done. We just move enough of what we cut last year or before for the Winter and put it in that little garage near the house. When wood burning starts, we have a wood closet in the house that will hold enough for a week and we refill it on the nicest day each week.

It does weigh a lot Major. :thumb

Well hooking to a 3 pt hitch on a large tractor with hydro is a good deal too. My issue is always lifting large pieces up on a horizontal splitter. Mine can go vertical so that helps but rolling them around takes time and back strain. Next best thing would be having it go all the way to the ground and roll em on. I have catchers on the sides of mine to do multiple splits without logs rolling off.

I got mine from Tractor Supply and added side catcher (OEM) its a 28 ton with Honda Engine.
This is what the catcher looks like.

After loading more wood up at the neighbors yesterday and tearing the arm up I loaded it on the trailer and headed to a friends welding shop down the road to get this thing done. He has a lot more nice equipment to use, and lets me have scrap pieces to build with. :woo


Spent all afternoon down there yesterday and going back in a few minutes to finish up the metal work, hopefully it will be done by lunch. Ended up making a new custom axle for it and all. The guys at the welding shop say it should be about a 500 ton splitter. :rolling

Will have some pics later today. :)
