Last Updated: September 2024

Overview

The Wheel Horse B-80 is a compact lawn and garden tractor made from 1974 to 1977. It's perfect for small yards and gardens. This tractor has a 2-wheel drive system and manual steering, making it easy to control. It uses a belt-driven gear transmission with 6 forward gears and 2 reverse gears, giving you plenty of options for different tasks.

The B-80 is powered by a Kohler K181S engine. This engine is air-cooled and has just one cylinder. It runs on gasoline and produces 8 horsepower, which is on the lower end for tractors but good for its size. The engine is small, with a displacement of 18.6 cubic inches. It has a very high rated speed of 3600 rpm, which helps it perform well despite its small size. The tractor is lightweight at 538 pounds, making it easy to move around. It's compact too, measuring 65 inches long, 32.7 inches wide, and 39.8 inches tall. The B-80 has an open operator station and an electric starter for easy use. It also comes with a 1.5-gallon fuel tank, which is enough for most lawn and garden jobs.
