I looked up the dates after your post. The fog cleared and I realized the Blue Oval didn't go away until '95. Ford actually acquired NH in '86 and Fiat acquired FNH in '91. It just seemed like the 80-s were the beginning of the end. With the acquisition of NH, FNH engineering took a siesta and lost its dominance in the market. Ford built the finest backhoe at that time and rode that design into the ground until all market share was lost. CAT and JD seized that opportunity. A real shame. I still believe the new generation 555E is a much better concept than CAT or Deere but Fiat could care less about its engineering deficiencies and will never make it into what it was meant to be.
