Other than Diesel Supers, my favorite cubs are the 82 series models. The 682 is a great model. As mentioned it has manual deck and attachment lift whereas the 782 came with hydraulic lift. If you don't plan on using plows or heavy attachments, you will be fine. You can install a lift spring to help lifter heavier equipment, but it will still work you to death, this is simply based on my own personal experience, it may not apply to you.
