I believe one of the dealers (Bluechip?) mentioned looking for the EPA sticker on the engine. If it meets the new Tier II emissions standards then it's the 27hp engine.

Yup. Look on the badge on the engine. It states the power. The owners manual that was on the seat should be accurate (assuming it wasn't switched). If it reads 25 HP (79.3 cu.in.) then you have the old one. Not a huge deal. It has been doing all I ask of it, it just isn't what I had intended to buy. The dealer knew this because I was hemming and hawing over the CT230 but went with the CT225 because it was just 2-3 HP but now in reality is 5 HP.

yep I got the 25hp version, I was having the same discussion with my dealer prior to purchase, 25 or 30 hp. He said oh no, the 225 is 27hp, it'l be about a thousand more for the 230. I got the 225. Its not a huge deal, just some major misinformation. I just left them a message. We will see how it goes

gaberelli, Is the engine number the same on your new 27hp 225? Are there any other differences?
the 25hp is the td1300lxbc. My dealer said they talked to the bobcat rep who said there was only 1 engine used in the 225. Ever. Basically the stats were just changed to reflect the higher hp. My sales guy said the tractor was just under rated in the manual, He will get me the updated manual if I insist. I asked for the area reps contact info. My bobcat dealer really doesnt know squat about the tractors, just what they learned in a training class.

My CT225 says 25hp (18.6kw) @ 2600 rpm in the Manual...BUT it says
(20.1kw) @2600 rpm on the engine tag on the valve cover. My conclusion to this info is The Manual is not correct and my Tractor makes 27.01 hp @ 2600 rpm. Check the engine tag before assuming you have a 25hp engine!

Thanks Sprocket, could you tell me if your engine number is td1300lxbc? and where is your epa/carb sticker located. My dealer will replace the tractor but He's making me prove the point With the Bobcat rep first.

Mine says 20.1kw on the tag on the top of the engine. I would think all 27hp engines would be the same. I would suspect they changed the test a bit but that does not explain the dispacement difference.They could have increased the stroke a bit ?????
