Default 1650 or 782?
I am thinking about buying a cub cadet with a hydro lift for my sleeve hitch.1650,782 or any other with a hydro lift. Which one would be better for plowing? Which hydro trans is better?
Thanks

The transmission is the same. Neither one will really be better than the other for plowing, but having had both tractors, I prefer a 782.

IF the 782 has the series II engine or cast rear end I would get the 782. If it has a series I engine though than I would look for a 1650

I've never had a 1650, but my advice would be for the 782. Just personal preference.

Since I've got both a 782 and a 1650, my vote would be for the 782 as well. The 1650 would be a close second since it has dual hydraulics and the 782 doesn't.

Don't knock the series I engine too much. As long as they have routine maintanence and you stay away from mowing on steep inclines, they are good engines. They just aren't rebuildable if they do take a crap. My 782 still has the original series I and she runs great. Probably one of the nicest, original 782's I've seen. If the motor finally gives up the ghost, I'll look for a series II or M18.

I'm probably the only one that will say 1650. Just a personal preference for me

Based on having 2-1450s, I'd go with the 782 also. I'm replacing the steering knuckles on one and the steering parts prices are double the 82 series.

Make that 2 for the 1650. Ive had an 1811 which is pretty close to a 782. Just something about it makes it my choice.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
