It covers loader capacity differences (H130 vs 120R, 150-200 lbs more lift on the old style), seat/suspension, ergonomics, tilt steering, auto-connect mower deck, and gives real used-tractor prices with hours and warranty. Good for buyers weighing used old-style vs newer 2025R.
Posted by Good Works Tractors, a dealership channel selling these same used tractors, so treat pricing and framing as sales-oriented.
The old style H130 loader is about 150 to 200 pounds more capable than the new 120R loader because it has larger cylinders.
The new style has a thicker padded seat with an actual spring suspension underneath, compared to the old style's thin seat with just rubber pieces.
Yes, the new style 2 series offers a 60-inch auto-connect deck where the PTO shaft attaches and detaches itself, unlike the old 62-inch deck requiring manual connection.
A 2015 old style with 50-55 hours and three years of warranty left sold for $17,999, while a 2018 with about 50 hours and five years warranty was about $19,500.
