I had an IH 234, an earlier model to the 235,245,255 and 275 series.
I have in my hot little hand the sales brochure for the 200 series.
The 255 was listed as having 24 engine hp, with 64.75 cu displacement. 21 hp pto. It appears to be the only one of the 200 series rated at 2800 rpm. (all the others were 2700 rpm. The biggest of the 200 series was the 275 rated at 31 engine hp, with 27 pto hp. MFWD was an option on all.
My 234 was a great little tractor, but at only 18 hp I wanted to get bigger so I went with a used NH1630, (the early Boomer model). I ran the 234 for 9 years for a trade in difference of $1,000. I the 234 had more hp, (even though the 18 hp it had worked well), I might have kept it. The mitsubishi diesel was great.
Good luck.

I too wish to offer kudos to a job well done on this site. I found it a few weeks ago, and now I don't go a day with out it.
Hobby farming and landscaping both sound like good ideas to pursue. Actually any thing dealing with various uses of compacts I think is a great idea.

I just bought a 1630 Supersteer with 208 hours, the 7308 loader and<br>a five foot belly mower. I paid 15K for all. At first I worried I paid<br>too much, but in looking at some of the postings I think I did alright.<br>By the way...I love the tractor!!!
