Add hydraulic lift to 1810?

[jdrong]

I have been looking for a little newer model CC than my 149. I would like to stay with an all metal (hood, etc.) CC. Recently an 1810 came up for sale but I want hydraulic lift for a snowblower. Do any or all 1810's have ported pumps? Is it worth the effort? Another downside is that it doesn't come with a snowblower so I would have to find one of those. The one I found looks well taken care of in the pictures and I haven't looked at it yet, so I don't really know how good of shape it is in. Also, it supposedly has less than 900 hours.

It is probably cheaper to find another one with hydraulic lift on it already than to add hydraulic lift to one that doesn't have it already on it. Unless you find a donor tractor with a blown engine for cheap.

Thanks for your reply, but the 1810 got marked down to $650 and was sold shortly after.
