What are the differences? I'm looking at a 9250 right now and I'm a lot more familiar with seeing 9350's down here.

Don is correct.

Different engine (more HP), two speed range, bigger tire options on the 93. 9250 was the smaller/lighter model, 9350 was the cadilac, but otherwise same frame and components. Seen lots of 9250's with the optional equip that make them look very similar. No real difference in reliability or capability other that some ground clearance and HP. Bevel gear box is the only weak spot imo. Also some replacement parts for the 9250 with the single speed auburn power wheel are not made anymore, so that can get $$$.

If your planning to mow with it, especially with those rough hay fields, I would strongly consider forked vs the formed rear casters.

Also don't be scared of goint to a 2 series if there isn't much price difference. They are just built heavier.

The top model has heavier bigger wheel hubs, might be something to consider. I have the 2952i which is the same as the 9352i. Very good, heavy built swather. Mine has extra weight already added to the frame which is nice and has the big tires front and back. If you can get the better model, that's the route I would go, I wouldn't think the price difference would be that great. The powered screen cleaners are really nice to have also, you can go all day without cleaning the rad screen. The extra height is also nice especially for us where the canola swaths can get very large. Good luck!

I think I'm going to hold off for an M series. I'd like to get a M205 and buy a sickle head for it so I have both heads but idk if they do will work on a M205?
