I got one, and I've liked it. You have to remember there's a pretty big weight jump between the 7000 and 7010, so if compaction is a concern, that may be something to consider. But, like the others have said, the 7010 is even more over built than the 7000 for the power it has. That being said, I've never heard of a 7000 blowing anything in the rearend up, and mine's been good. I just overhauled the engine this summer, and the 301 ain't the cheapest engine to work on, but it's done and good for a very long time. The only reason I would ever go to a 7010 would probably be for the powershift transmission, but the cost of transmission rebuild kind of scares me, and with my luck, I feel like I'd be destined to get a 7010 that was a lemon or something and would spit out it's transmission's guts as soon as I got it lol. If I were you, I'd buy the tractor that seems best taken care of for the money. It's no better for you in your situation to buy a 7010 that needs an engine overhaul and pay the same price as a 7000 that will run for many hours most likely without any major work needed. Hope that makes sense.
