What is the difference between a 6008 and 7000 HAT?

 

[Jim Martin]

that would be the blower size

H.A.T.stands for........

Harmonics and Attenuation Tuned


The 7000 blower is bigger the the 6008 and is supposed to be quieter

Who made it and what year? There are many differences.

I am asking to see if it is worth buing a newer 7000 or just buying a 04 6008 because the cost diff is almost $20,000?

 

[The Preacher]

how much repair $$$ do you have in reserve would be a key question!!!

 

[dealtimeman]

i am almost finished revamping my 777 and only have used $6000. how much could be wrong with a newer truck and how much could it possibly cost to fix?

 

[The Preacher]

since they seem to be custom machines (no two seem to be alike) i'd say lots could go wrong with it!

I bought a used 6008 ..2004 and aside from a few things I have not had to many problems most others have experienced..Marty bought the same machine and same year truck as mine and his was in better shape then mine..he has had a few problems ..but I have spoken to a few guys that have bought new ones and have had problems....It is all in what road you decide to take ....The 7000 in much quieter then the 6008..and one important thing is it has a warranty..buy it used and its all up to you if anything goes wrong...But there is a lot of guys on this board that can help you with most any problems if something should happen...

Did I read that wrong, cause I would say an almost 5 yr. old 6008 is a lot less than the $20K difference you posted?
