Wide Frame?

[raporter]

I have been a cub owner for over 20 years. Now I own a lt2138 with 2 blade deck (i bought it new) and a 2544 . I am thinking I want to go to a wide frame,with hydro, hydraulic lift and steering and 3 blade 42" deck Two cylinder. Is there such an animal? and what size cub is it? I am not new, just getting old and my remembers ain't so good. Thanks

You can look at a 1872. It has a lot of the things you are looking for but the smallest deck was 50".

My first thought would be a 782. It has a 17hp, 2 cylinder Kohler, hydrostatic drive, available mower decks would be 38", 44" and 50", all are three blade, has hydraulic lift but manual steering.

1862 or 1864 will be the closest you will get to those requirements.

Here's what an 1862 looks like:

Simple answer...go look at the 3000 series machines. Easy to get on and off, power steering, hydro lift, foot controlled hydro, all metal panels, shaft drive deck, better engines, maintenance free shaft driven hydro and it has a cup holder.
