1450 versus 782

[Buzz91]

Hi all,

First post here. I’ve been fortunate to find a 1450 with dual hydraulics and a 782 with a 1 series engine and IH rear end. Both are in great condition and I’m having a battle of choosing between the two. Main objective is for it to be used for garden plowing, tilling, and wagon transport of wood, stone, est.

Any feedback on the two would be greatly appreciated. I understand both have their potential drawbacks. Motor mounts versus 1 series engine, but besides those what would be your recommendation for garden use?

The help is appreciated!

Both are capable garden tractors,
I'm partial to the 782's, having 2 of them.
I also have a 1650
Are you sure the 782 still has series 1 engine? most have long since been repowered with series 2 or Magnums.
The 782's are a much smoother operating tractor with the opposed twin.
Of course nothing wrong with getting both of them.

Right on there... why limit yourself to one?

Either One is great for Gardening and Cart Pulling.

My Cub Garden tractors all can work in the Garden and all usually do except for the Original which is a Trailer queen
