A Quiet Line model 1200 is a 12hp K301 AQS engine with electric pto, and a gear drive transmission. To operate a snow thrower/blower for the 1200 model, the first requirement should be a creeper gear. This garden tractor also has a manual implement lift handle. For me, a manual lift is not hard for me to operate, being 41 years of age and in great health ( knock on wood
) . An electric lift, hydraulic lift, spring assist are options that's going to aid in the implement lifting action.
Please research the Quiet Line models first. There is a huge cash of information about them. Member Deltacub whom considered by many, to be a qualified expert on these models. Do check in at the CCC/MTD section of the forum. Many hydrostatic models with ported pump and hydraulic lift might be what you are aiming for. Such model would be a 1211, or a Cyclops Super.
Going to throw in a IH model 123, and 125 as other great options , as well as the 129 and 149 series of garden tractors as well. Other members can fill you in better than I. But a $200 1200 might be a great buy not to pass up. You will find having designated tractors set up with specific equipment is a easy way to not need to switch out implements for various tasks. If you can post pictures and detailed information about the model 1200 and post it in the "what's It Worth" section of the forum!
