Had a 2003 7810 powershift. It was our first 7000 series and will be the last too. Sold it and got a 8120. Not sure why everyone on agtalk loves them but I hated it.
Small cab , turns terrible, rides rough , setting detents on hydraulics sucks, ac always was terrible.
Wouldn't think of spending that kind of $ on a 7000 series when a 8000 could be bought.
I agree the 8000 series tractor in my eye is better exactly for the reasons you mentioned. When I was looking to upgrade my planter tractor I was looking for the 7800 series but had two dealers talk me out of it. They both said I’d be happier with the 8000 series, ended up getting a 8120 and have zero regrets going that route.
I do own a 7130 that is used as my loader and sprayer tractor, even though it is a nice tractor I still prefer driving my 8000 series tractors.
