Good commentary. You are not alone in your experience with Ford in the 1970's. The gray and red tractors never sold here but about 1970 to 1975 there was a 6000 and two 8000's in the neighborhood. The 6000 and one 8000 were gone by 1976 because of the issues you cited. The other 8000 stayed because it was that farmer's baby that moldboarded 40 acres a year and chopped 10 acres of corn which is to say it did not see much use. That farmer still has that tractor and I don't think it has 4000 hours on it today. There is more dealer competition for Deere here so each outfit tends to work harder for business. Case IH is done by a multi-location dealer as is New Holland with that New Holland multi having Case IH at one location. Both lag the Deere dealers IMO on customer relations.
