I personally like the 7000 series. My ol' 7050 is still getting the job done for a pretty small investment. I don't use it hard for tillage and such anymore, but it does a great job for loader and general "utility" work. I also find the cab much easier to get in and out of than the soundgard cabs of similar vintage. I guess to each his own, as they say. I am gonna keep this one around for as long as I am farming.
