So how's your weekend going? Mine's been Super :)
 

I picked up my first Super this weekend, a 2182. It was a pretty long road trip to get it, but I got it and I am home.... finally!

It came with a 60" deck and a set of wheel weights. It also came with a 54" haban 401 dozer blade.

I don't currently own a trailer, so we pulled the deck so the tractor would fit in my pickup. Thankfully I have a full size truck with a 8' bed. Once the tractor was in the bed, I didn't like how the deck was going to fit along the side and rub on the wheel weight, so I ended up pulling the weights also.

Between the tractor, deck and dozer blade I dont think much else would have fit in the bed.

I bought it from the orignal owners brother in law. it has 890 hours on it. Only one small crack in the plastic just above the exhaust, the guy put a small piece of sheet metal behind the crack with some sheet metal screws. Seems to be holding. No other cracks in the plastic.

He let me mow part of his back yard for a test before I committed to buy it. Luckily my back was to him as I pulled away sitting on the tractor. I was all smiles as soon as I hit the seat, and gave it some throttle :)

I'm really impressed with how it mows! The Kubota runs real smooth and quiet . After we pulled the deck before loading it I got under the tractor to check the rear end, all the bolts are tight and I did not see any cracked mounts. Real happy about that.

Was hoping to get home before dark to get a few good pictures of it and the attachments. But it was a long trip. I got it unloaded and had to take it for a spin around the yard.

Will try to get a few better pictures tomorrow.

Congrats on the one eyed super grass killer.:beerchug:
Drop that Haban in the grass and let er' eat.:biggrin2:

Looks like a nice tractor!!

Those 2182's are among the best Cub Cadets built.. Those gas Kubotas are super smooth and sound great to boot!:beerchug::beerchug:

Habans are hard to beat also... they really sling the grass like no other!

You will love this tractor!!:beerchug:

Congrats on the new toy!:beerchug:

Nice looking 2182 / sounds like you knew what you wanted and how to check it out first... wise man and now a happy wise man..:beerchug:

Congrats on your super!

Nice pick up. They are addicting!:beerchug:

Looks like a clean tractor! Congrats!:beerchug:

Thanks guys!

I'm not sure about the wise part... however I did a ton of reading on here, so I would know what areas to look at on these supers. I didn't want to go in blind or end up with something that needed lots of repairs...

I was hoping to find a 1782 but nothing showed up that I liked or within driving distance.

I'm real happy I bought the 2182, it puts my current mower to complete shame.

What did you use previously? Not that it matters yours would put most to shame. By the way it's light outside now, how bout some more pics? :beerchug:
