5225 Engine Adjustment?

[ocaj11]

This is probably a more appropriate question for this forum instead of the Buyiing/Pricing Forum I initially posted the question.

I read somewhere that the only difference between a JD 5225 and 5325 was the extra horsepower gained by adjusting the injectors to deliver more fuel. How difficult is it to have this modification completed by someone after the warranty runs out?

I have no experience or knowledge with this subject but I'm sure someone here knows. Basically, I'm wondering if it's a good idea to purchase a 5225 instead of a 5325 and keep it unmodified unless I need the extra pto horespower at some point in the future.

Thanks for your help.

If I were you, I would just get the 53 and be done with it. Tampering with these new engines is against the law. Due to the EPA emissions laws, injection pumps can no longer be tampered with, or even repaired by anyone other than a certified shop. Some stiff penalties can result if "they" find out you have tampered with an emissions certified engine. Sorry to rain on your parade.....

Thanks for the info. I didn't know the government cared since they both have the same emissions compliant engines. I'll take the advise and pay the extra for the 5325 up front.
