Gordon, The main difference is price. Seriously, my R60 is an 87 and I am happy with it. I have no first hand experience with a newer machine so I cant offer a valid comparison. lets hope some other guys will offer their opinions too. Tom Russell
More POWER!!! That is probably the biggest advantage. The cab on the 62's is also about 100 times better-cleaner, quieter, bigger, better visability, easier to get in and out.
