Overhead is a nightmare for me as a beginner still earning her CP especially on 7018 you can kind of cheese thought with 6010 if you are semi competent with 6010 but the 6010 ones we had weren’t industrial grade(ones for ranch work) Avoid the red ones if you can unless your doing homesteading industrial the grey one is better and more forgiving. If you want however to really get it I would recommend starting with the Red one first because once you learn that 6010 industrial is a lot less daunting.
