no magic here this one is how i bought it.

No this one is an "S" model with the 16 hp cast iron briggs.

my other one is a 12 hp version with the Kohler.

I have the 812 and now this 816S

LOL Skools, you know I love ya man, but if you want a loader you need a REAL tractor. I got a 28hp 4x4 Massey here at work with a loader and its about the smallest Id want a loader on. Will pull a small house down in 4wd but the loader is very underpowered. You are gonna spin alot of back tires trying to push a loader with that thing.

oh they actually do well but they rear end of those weighs around 900 lbs dry weight. add the rear wheel weights at 100 lbs each and the rear weight rack which my 812 currently has 225 lbs on it. so with me that a total of 1600+ lbs total
