Opinions on 682 vs. 1811
 

I have been looking for an older Cub to use around the house. Which would be better for mowing some tall grass and the regular lawn mowing? I believe the 682 is a 1980 model. Not sure about the 1811, looks much beefier than the 682. Any thoughts or opinions are welcomed.

Thanks,
Mark

:Welcome2:

The choice here is simple. 16HP with manual lift...... or.... 18hp with hydraulic lift. Lets see.... more power, and less effort :bigthink: Which one would I choose....... 1811 hands down.

1811 here also. The hydraulic lift is nice!

Welcome to OCC!
The 1811 is nice because of the 18 mag and hydraulic lift but the 682 is probably IH built which is nice but I think the 1811 would be better choice for you. By the way the 682 has a 17hp Kohler if it is still factory.:beer2:

No doubt, I agree

Yep what they said....

Thanks, guys!!

I'd get both tractors! Issue solved. :biggrin2:

I'm with, Bill! :biggrin2:

As much as I'd love to cast my vote for the 682 simply because I love the old IH and red, I'd have to side with everyone else on this one: better motor and hydraulics make it the winner.
