I have a 582 in good condition and am wondering why are the Red line tractors are special. I'd like to get a 1450 or 1650 for the hydrostatic and hydraulics. Is the 16 hp 582 any better than a 1450 or 1650?

IH and CCC only built one series of red tractors. That's why they are so "near and dear" to us. But really, they are the same as the next two series of tractors.

You aren't really comparing apples to apples. The 1450 and the 1650 are hydrostat tractors. If you want to compare machines, use a 682 or 782. Or, compare your 582 to a 1000 or 1200.

, I'll hang onto it. Did Cub ever have a two lever hydraulic lift/angle control on the 1450 or 1650?

Yes they did, and it was an option on the later 1250's.

The 1450 I just finished fixing is a dual stick/dual hydraulic. I have a power angle blade that goes on it. Gonna mount it today.

Not fair - dual hydro!!! Better send it west to me where we get some snow and the power angle can get a workout...

I think the Red 82 Series lawn and garden tractors are special because, originally IH wanted to paint their garden tractors red starting with the IH Cub Cadet back in '60 - '61. So, to have a series come out in IH Red was a long, over due welcome! The 4 gallon fuel tanks had to have been great as well.

The 582 is a killer, boasting a Briggs twin 16, backed by the gear drive transmission! I think it was the most hp. for a gear drive garden tractor IH Cub Cadet ever put out. The 82 Series have a great look to them as well! I actually sat on a 682, and that seemed like a sweet tractor in itself!

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.
