There's one for sale locally that I think can be bought cheap enough. Way more power than I need. Wide front, good sheet metal, looks good and appears to have been shedded. Haven't driven it yet or heard it run. Would be used to make hay and mow. Hardest job it would ever do is run a 10 ft bush hog. Never owned a tractor this big or an Oliver period, but have always liked them. Am I just being naive to not believe this tractor won't use an obscene amount of fuel? It's not like I'd be running it seven days a week, but being a gas this big kinda scares me tho. Opinions? Would I be better off with a 1550/1600/1650? Thanks.
 
I would think it depends on the amount of hours that you use it. Unless you are pulling it hard all day long the difference may not add up to a lot. I have an 1850, and it does use the gas when I run it hard, but just cruising around it doesn't seem bad at all.
 
We used a 1600, 1650, 1800 and 1850 gassers for may years. For light work the 1800 will burn only a little more fuel than its lower HP siblings doing the same job. The strategy is to "gear up and throttle down".

Overall the 1800Cis a good old tractor. Tough, reliable and starts easily even in the coldest weather.
 
Didn't they pull in some of the unsold 1800C gassers and rebadge them as 1850s to sell them?
 
There is a book out that said the 1800 was rebadged to become a 1750. For the diesel that is totally false as the 1750 had the new direct injection engine. A 1750 gas and an 1800 C are both 283 gas engines with not many changes while your 1850 gas is a 310 not a 283 cubic inch engine.
