I'm am looking to buy one of these tractors next year. I have heard the motor is basically the same but they "tune" them different. Is the physical size of the tractor the same? I have a Farm Pro 2wd 20hp which has been a decent tractor for me but I'd like to move up to something with a little more power and the ability to put a Koyker loader on one day. Will the 224 run a 5 bush hog comfortably as well as a three point chipper? There is a decent price difference between these tractors which is why I ask. My friend has the 254 at it seems like a nice tractor(he loves it) /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif.
