What do the wise folks here think of the Cub Cadet 682?
I have my eye on a 682. I believe it has a twin cylinder Kohler in it. Are the twins good and are they easy to work on?
The red intrigues me.

The 682 is a manual lift. They came with the KT17's. Check if its a series 1 or 2 engine. The series 1's had their problems being that they were splashed lube and if mowing a lot of hills on its side it would starve the rod oil and bang!
Other then that the 82 series are nice tractors and fairly easy to work on.

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.

I'm a newbie here, because I just picked up a 682, says series II on the air cleaner, also, had a 147 years ago but no need for a tractor for a long time, finally got tired of walking behind the snow blower in these norther Michigan winters, getting too old for that stuff!
So really was luck of the draw that I ended up with this, of course now that I have it I'm getting all geeked about getting a 3 pt for it and dream of hydraulics! These guys have already been a big help, love this place and I hope we enjoy these red tractors.

I've got a 682 with the Series I engine, and a 782 with the Series II. Both are great machines. As said before the Series I engine had serious oil lubrication problems corrected with the Series II. So if you would be using the 682 on relatively flat land, and not operated for extended time (say under a minute) on a slope, I think you will like the 682.
Personally I like the electrical PTO and forward/reverse control of the 82 series over the 1X9 series.

I've got a 682 with a Series I engine (early serial number at that) and haven't had any problem with it. I avoid hills like the plague but that's just my obsessive paranoia
 Anywho, it's my favorite series of Cubs (followed by the mid 90's Supers and the 1x9 series). Last ones IH made, SOLID construction, lots of options, tons of power, and just plain sexy. Keep plenty of oil in it, avoid hills, and you should be just fine. Good luck, and be sure to post pics!

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.
