Got a chuckle when I read the post that you must be a physican or attorney to own a 150 hp tractor and only farm 150 acres. I'm neither, own several, and how would you explain Nebraska Allan's flock of tractors? I have been told the transmission guts are almost the same, but the controls are definitely better on the 7120. We have a 5288 and the hydraulic controls are not great, but they work and flow has never been a problem. The mechanical shifting is also a little crappy, but it works. The two gear power shift does work better than the torque it replaced. We have pulled a 5 shank DMI in-line ripper and it takes a lot of power. The primary ripper tractor is a IH 4166 with a bigger 466 cu in engine. Power is around 165 bhp and running 15-16 inches deep, about 4 mph is all you can muster. You need to pull vertical tillage tools such as the turbo-till very fast, and as you stated, that takes power. The 5288 with duals and loaded primary tires works great on a 13 shank chisel going 9-10 inches deep, but it generally has more power available than traction.
