I just acquired a 2182 this week. I knew there was a 2182 in the area, but had no idea who owned it. I happened to meet a friend when I was leaving the local McDonalds. I asked him if he knew anyone in his neighborhood who owned an older yellow and white Cub Cadet. He said that was him! Then he said he had just bought a zero turn and wanted to sell the 2182!
I had no idea what to expect when I went to look at the tractor. What I found amazed me. The 2182 had a 60" Haban deck, 100 pound wheel weights, 3 point hitch, rear PTO, and a 54" power angle blade. The owner also threw in another full set of Super tires and wheels. Can't imagine how lucky I feel. I'll get some pictures posted soon.

I just tried the 2182 out by mowing my yard. The Kubota engine is so smooth compared to Kohler twins. I'm a little concerned with the hydrostat, it seems to be "lazy" especially in reverse. I intend to change fluid and filter and hope this will help.
Any thoughts and advice appreciated.
I know Sam Mac really likes the 2182 Cyclops tractors. I know why now!
