2. Steering brakes
3. Gasoline Engine (16 HP minimum)
4. NOT a cyclops
5. 60" mower
6. Rear hitch / lift capability

Tall order.

You won't find a gear drive.

All are at least 18hp and you'll want at least 20.

There's a 1572 in OK with diesel with cat0 and rear pto for $1500, you'll find it if you look.

Prepare to travel, won't be in your backyard, never is.

How good are the Kubota diesels ? Anyone had any experience with them? I started out wanting one but have been having second thoughts. I know enough about gas to get by but have never worked on a diesel. The positive side would be, my friend makes the real bio diesel at a cost of $1.00 per gallon and I can have all I need for this price.

The Kubotas are great. Very reliable and cheap on fuel. Parts, filters, etc are expensive. I love my 782D and miss the 1512 I had....nothing worked better with my snowthrower. They are also considerably smoother running than the opposed twins.

I know nothing about diesels. That's why I wanted a gas motor. I really like the looks of the 1872, but I can't find any info on it. As a matter of fact. I can't find much info on any SGT!!

Cub cadet has never made a gear drive super. The biggest tractor that was a gear drive would probably be a 1806. That would be a CCC built 18hp gear drive with a aluminum rear end. The biggest IH built gear drive would be the 582. But none of these are "Supers", just nomal gt's.

AJG: But IH did ! Cub LowBoys 154, 185 or 184 all have 15 - 18 hp, gasoline engine, steering brakes, hydraulic lift (optional), is a gear drive and will handle a 60 inch deck!! And is either Yellow/White or Red just like the Cub Cadets!!

I think that fit his descripton exactly....

Amongst lots of other Cub Cadets & IH equipment, I have a 782D and a Lowboy 154 and love 'em both...!!

Here is a 782 on CL:
http://baltimore.craigslist.org/grd/1235296795.html

My suggestion is to buy Scott's 1872! The 60" deck is a commercial option. They take some doing to find used. Most come with a 50c deck. I've got more in my 1872 than Scott is asking and haven't even mowed with it yet.

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.
