Need help with Bobcat 225G Plus

[JohnDeereSmoker]

I tried posting this question but I can't find it so here it is again. I am looking for a Bobcat 225 or 250. I am new to engine driven welders and wondered what the pros and cons to the 225 versus the 250. Also what does the plus mean on the 225? What is high hours? I found one with 1700 hrs. Looks good, should I stay away? Thanks!

anything over 600 hours i run away from unless i know the history of the machine. Anything with an onan i run from not because onans are bad engines but parts are pricey. However i hate onan engines.
