Woodham, Ontario | We currently own a '01 7210 with almost 6000 hours (didn't do much the last year though) and we have rented a 7320. A 7220 is really more like a 6520 than a replacement for a 7210. The 7220 is built much lighter and the cab is a lot smaller. We could not fit our special "piton" drawbar that we use on the 7210 and 7710 on the 7320 because the stock drawbar is a lot thinner. The cab on the 7220 is the same as the 6420 which is cramped compared to the 7210 and you cannot reach the hyd flow controls from the tractor seat anymore. I was really disappointed with the 7320 and we will keep our 7210 around for a long time, should be able to reach 10,000+ hours without problems. If you get the right year of 7210 you will have a much stronger front axle which was used on the 7710, 7810 and even shared a lot of parts with the 7720, 7820, 7920 and even the 30 series. Which held up really well for our heavy loader use.
I added a pic of the 7210 after it got new michelin tires int he spring of 2006 and the drawbar that we use on the 7210 and 7710 that was too big for the 7320.
