Wheel Horse 520H

The Wheel Horse 520H is a two-wheel drive garden tractor from the revered 500 series, produced by Wheel Horse, a division of Toro, in South Bend, Indiana, USA. Production spanned nearly a decade from 1990 to 1997, showcasing the second generation of the model following an earlier iteration.

This engine outputs 20 horsepower at 3,600 rpm, pairing nicely with the tractor's belt-driven hydrostatic transmission which offers seamless variable speeds both forwards and in reverse, addressing a multitude of gardening and lawn care needs. The simplicity of the model is underlined by the manual steering and mechanical band brakes, ensuring hands-on control and straightforward maintenance. Its compact dimensions and humble operating weight make the 520H a manageable and nimble workhorse for those seeking a dependable machine for home and estate gardening tasks.
