Andy here is a few thoughts given your questions. I have or have had over 15 supers. I am not a fan of the 60" inch decks for several reasons - They are very heavy and hard to take on and off, parts are not as readily available, They are limited to the tractors they will fit on and Also the bigger the deck the more strain that was put on the tractor engine over time. You need to make sure the gear box on the snow blower is good. I have seen them sell themselves for $300-$500 depending on model and condition. 1800 hrs is more than I like to see some say these engines are only good for about 1500-2000 hrs I have never had one with over 1200 hrs on meter but you never know if they have been replaced or diconnected. I have paid any where from $700 to $1600 for these tractors more for diesels. Condition is everything also if there is a 3pnt hitch or rear pto. These are just my observations and opinions from dealing with supers over the years. Not ment to offend those who disagree the more opinions you get the more you can form your own. Good luck. You can see some pis of my supers in the events and plow day catagory under the danville thread
