![]() ![]() The MFD axle on the 240 is the 12-bolt hub setup that was available with factory MFD duals. The engine on your 240 was the CAPS 4-valve 8.3L with full electronic control, while the 220 has the 2-valve 8.3L with mechanical injection pump(more or less the same engine as the old boxcar Magnums used with an air-to-air intercooler instead of the water intercooler). The big differences being the MFD axle and the engine. The MX220 was a smaller brother to your MX240. But to give you a comparison we can sell a beef cow for 3,400.00 and a pig for $1,200.00 eggs all day long at 6.00. It looks like a scene from Alfred Hitchcoks the Birds x 10. I just can't figure out why they cultivate spray and bale with 200hp+ tractors? We can't even raise grain corn here because most fields are too close to trees and I am not kidding when I say half of every single ear in the field is eaten by black birds. ![]() It is a different world verses the Midwest. Why do they use such big horses? Is it because that is all they have and don't have smaller tractors or is there really an advantage? We farm a reasonable amount of land for eastern Massachusetts and many of the fields are 5 acres sometimes less so we also have a lot of road time and there are a lot of cars. When I watch videos on youtube I see most farm work being done with big tractors that we would use smaller tractors to do, ie spraying, baling hay, cultivating, etc. we plow a lot of snow with tractors city roads and parking lots and I will not use a truck again to plow snow. But like all men and their toys you can not have them too big. these tractors are really larger than I need to farm in Massachusetts. ![]()
