I may be wrong, (happens a lot) but the 200 series tractors did not turn sharper in one direction than the other. I suspect some steering linkages are out of adjustment or there was some interference with a front wheel hitting the mowing deck and someone along the way adjusted it that way to avoid this. My 214 never had these issues. Adam
KHodges posted that his has the same issue of unequal left and right turns so we thought it is supposed to be that way. Its definitely something I'm going to look into when I get it ready for snow duty.
Given your reasons, do the trade and then pick up another 200-series later on if you want. 200's are good tractors, but can be REALLY annoying if they need work. And honestly, as a mower they kind of suck by modern standards. No hydro, huge turning radius, slow steering, etc.

And I bleed green...
well i made the trade the old man was happy i found out he wanted it to pull his harrow and rake which works out good because he is 85 and has almost 4 times the yard i do and the mower i got is in alot better shape

So now all you need to do is get him to join MTF!
