I have one set up that way and actually like it better than the 1864's due to the smoother Vanguard engine.
I thought about that but I'm good with what I have, I didn't notice THAT much difference with power steering. I did notice the Kohler is much heavier than the Vanguard, but I think it's quieter when mowing. I hear a little bit of the engine and a little bit of the deck and a lot of grass crying as it's getting slaughtered. I'm not plowing or blowing with it, if I was I would lean toward the power steering. Also, no power steering means one less thing to need seals or hoses fixed.
