After learning that the 190xt was going to be too slow on the road to get done what I needed done, I have looked at the 7000 series, which surprisingly are about the same price as the 190xt, and actually cheaper than a 190xt with cab and parts to add on A/C. Are these tractors good tractors for general horse farming? By that I mean that it would rarely pull heavy tillage, as a matter of fact, the largest plow we have is a 3-16 allis that we pull with a ford 7610 (year overkill, but it does the job and fast). I have heard that they don't have power assited brakes. Are the brakes still able to stop a load pretty well? What is the transmission like, as in type (powershift, PD, etc.), ease of repair, cost, reliability, anything to look out for, handle the power, etc.? Are the cabs good at keeping you cool and warm and pretty quiet? I know they are known for being small, but to me, a cab should just be something to keep you warm/cool and dry and out from the noise, so having a nice stereo and a lot of room isn't that important. What is the difference between the black and maroon bellies, and what are the pros and cons of each. I have heard that the maroon bellies have the shift in the floor, which means no cables, which sounds more durable, am I right? And anything about the motors, hydraulics, clutch, PTO, electrical, etc. would be greatly appreciated. By the way, looking at a tractor to make money with by working, not selling again. Thanks in advance for all your help.Hurst
