Compare for yourself
FREE SHIPPING — NorTrac Tractor with 4 Wheel Drive — 82 HP, Model# NT824 |82 HP | Northern Tool + Equipment
and
Rural King Farm and Home Internet Store
The numbers on the respective spec sheets don't match up well though. Based upon my own experience with RK however, I'm betting those on the Northern site may be more accurate.

To folks that don't want to make their own transportation arrangements - and who actually may need an outsourced warranty - the $7000 spread might not make as much a difference. On the other hand, $7k will buy a xx254 with - money left over.
