No flak, but you've got to compare apples to apples. I've had many Deere hoes and presently have a Ford 4000 Industrial, Pettibone LBA, and Case 580CK. Any hoe can get worn no matter who makes it. Over the years Deere has made large hoes, small hoes, hoes with open-center hydraulics, hoes with closed-center hydraulics, hoes with barrel swing cylinders and hoes with conventional swing cylinders. Some were certainly better than others but Ford had their share of bloopers too. I don't doubt you've had a couple for Fords you like better than whatever Deere you had, but it's likely, whatever Ford you have now, Deere made one as good at some point in time. In my opinion, many of the newer Deeres got overly complicated, and at the same time, had less lifting capacity. During the late 80s, we lost quite a few Deere customers who would normally buy a new hoe every couple of years. But, they began to find out the newer machines would not do the work of the older machines, especially 410 series owners. A lot of our customers gave up on Deere and bought I.H. or Ford instead.
