The cabs do kinda suck on the 7000 series. I have driven a few...I really liked the 7000 4x4 the trans shifter you pushed forward and back plus twisted it to put in three gears...3 up and 3 down. For 4x4 get the one with 2 mufflers dont know why but single had motor trouble. Power shift in 8000 worked just like 4020, but what little bit I know about them I think Id rather have a 7 than an 8000. Motor is easy to work on and there cheap...yes. The only bad thing that Ive seen is 2 of them with completly shot motors and one of them had bad hyd. Prevenative maintence or any maintence is the key word. These guys had none...so thats a good coomment.

8000 series...my dad has a mechanic friend who thinks if it aint green it should be shot. He will work on anything and he is picky...when he overhauls a motor every bolt is run over a wire brush. Any way he worked on an 8050? mfd and he said it was worthless. Had trouble with it starting or running or something. All I remember is that HE SAID that they had trouble with the crank shaft staying in place up front I think? Tried shimming it and etc and wound up putting a grease zerk on the front of the crank. Sounds kinda funky and I didnt see it, but I have no reason to not believe him. Plus the 8000 I drove on spring I had to either it on a 50 degree morning and you open up the door and all of the heat (A/C) goes out because 1/2 the cab is open...Kinda like the old Masseys.

I kinda like the shifting for the most part (diveder) on 7000 except I drove a power shift and a 1086 was a heck of a lot better than that thing...might of just been a bad one.

Just my experince
