I was mowing the yard with the 1864 today and saw my neighbor using his cub front tine tiller in his garden so I went and got the 1650 and let him till the easy way.
I don't think he thought about his Deere once.

He had lots of great things say about the old 1650 w/ model 1A. He loved how the only thing he had to worry about is how fast he was moving. And when he asked if he could use it again next weekend I said sure any time!

His Deere was hiding in the garage while the work was getting done!
This is the fella that told me I should trade in all my cubs for a new Deere. I don't think he feels the same about my old cubs any more.
Got to love my wife she takes pics of our neighbor using the 1650 but no pics of me mowing the grass with the 1864.
