The 2086 and 2182 are both fantastic machines. The plastic cam gear is a ticking time bomb on pre '98 Kawasakis, as you are aware. With the lower hours and the Kubota WG, I'd go for the 2182 as the keeper. If you have the space to store both, I think many of us find that a backup tractor is essential until you get all the kinks worked out of the primary use machine.
If you want a really smooth operating hydro on either machine, spending time rebuilding the trunion and hydro controls for will make the unit much more enjoyable to use. We did a video series on the process here: https://youtu.be/N7fH8wlTIYM The steering on the Supers tends to get sloppy as well, we go through a front axle/steering rebuild series here: https://youtu.be/Wd6uGAhNuHQ The first thing, however, that I would recommend focusing on is the wiring. Cyclops machines are the most complicated electrically in the vintage Cub line and are particularly problematic due to corrosion and excessive resistance in the harness and switches. Video series here of Cyclops wiring rebuild: https://youtu.be/Wsk4hvyeBqA Finally, take care of your fuel lines and tank valves or you will have problems. Every Cyclops tractor should get this treatment before being put into service. They are fantastic tractors, but like all machines they have their problem areas. Knowing what those are ahead of time will go a long way towards preventing frustration.

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.
