Specs show the 7h to be a little lighter then the r plus the r has more horse power. Is the r a better machine then then the h in a 7 size machine

    The R has diff steer, which is a big advantage.

    Only the later ones. We had a 79Z that was clutch steering.

    There is a serial number break where they increased the horsepower to 230 at 5BF 5711. Other than being a little lighter, these should be very comparable to a D7R without all the electronics.
