Newbie needs purchasing advice on Cub Cadet 1862 or 2135
Hi,
I'll be moving into a 1.3 acre lot and house with a basement walk out (so part of the lawn has a grade) and was wondering if a CC 1862 or 2135 will handle that?
I keep reading that the older entry level tractors are so much better than the new entry level tractors, so I'm asking whether an older tractor is appropriate for this lawn cutting job.
What is a reasonable price and reasonable hours?
Also, would this CC 1862 or a 2135 be able to push snow (with a blade) or be suitable for a 2-stage snow blower?
Are 2-stage snow blowers sold new for this tractor? Or do I need to find a used one.
Thanks for your help. The only tractor grass cutting I ever did was as a kid on my Grandpa's 1946 Farmall Cub.

EDIT: Added 2135 to the post... one of those is for sale too.
