Is there anyone that knows how many of these open station 7030s came out of the factory? The serial number I forgot, but it was towards the end of production of the 7030’s.

Pretty rare, I would guess less than 200 - The first ones hit in like, Dec of 72 before the official intro unless memory has failed as I saw one at our local dealer and it was in the back of the shop. It was an open station but somewhere about that time, the dealer had to sign a release of liability on each unit at time of order to get one w/o ROPS. Hmmm I guess I didn't answer the question exactly.

Of all the 7000 series (7010 & up) open station, the 7030 was the most common.

I recall that my Dad and uncle only sold a few of the open station 7000 series. In fact, several of them went out of the dealership with after-market cabs e.g. Year-Around. I only remember a few on the lot with no cabs. The after-market cab wouldn't have been put on until after the sale was made. I think most were 7030's but there may have been a 7050 or two.

Have to agree could not be more than a couple hundred.
In reality these should be bringing more than a D21 based on rarity and they are darn cool.

Our neighbors had a 7030 open station, bought it brand new. I remember it being the first 70xx series I ever saw. He was chopping silage in the field next to our place with a two-row and moving right on. We were still using a 200 and just crawling with the two row. I remember how it sounded pretty good under a load. I was just a kid but I sure was jealous.

When i was young maybe 13 or14 we went to our local dealer for some parts. We didnt have anything bigger than a 190 xt. Great tractor but not a 7000 series. Of course dealers try to get to fathers thru their sons. The salesman got me on a 7040 open station. We got it out on the road in high gear. He pushed the fuel wide open. I felt like i had a tiger by the tail
I had never felt that much power
Good memories

Luke and Dale R. have one. 24.5-32's on the rear, 18.4-16.1 diamond treads on the front. I like it! Just a great view from the seat.

Steve, that’s impressive. Farming 600 acres on an open station this day and age. Thats unheard of.
But will admit if the weather is perfect there’s nothing like it. No phone no radio no screens just you the tractor and the land.
