To me if you are getting a cyclops tractor, one of the key features you want is power steering, they have a great turning radius and combine that with effortless steering and you'd love it. So, I'd pass on the 1863 and wait for an 1864 to come along.
A 1282 for $350 is a no brainer if in decent shape.
