Only Cub Cadets - New guy here from KY

Hello gents,
I been reading this forum for a little bit, as i am in the market for a well built, old mower/tractor. Burned up a couple jd lx’s hydro’s cutting about 5 acres every week. It is hilly here in Eastern KY. I really need a full size tractor for my farm but that’s gonna be a while, as i went all in on buying the place. Luckily a neighbor is a good friend and goes easy on me when he does tractor work, but i need to maintain the grassy areas around house and pond. Was looking at a yellow n white 784 but gleaned from this sight that motor is not for hills. Got my eye on a red 682 and another yet to be identified yellow n white w attachments. I will start another thread for help on that. Thanks for havin me, and appreciate the help.
