It was also costly to fix, or to at least fix it right. The biggest problem I see with them is that the system is never at rest and constantly given to overheating if it starts leaking or you do a lot of heavy hydraulic work with it. Ford had their problems with load sensing valves on the 10 series systems as they were quite complicated... but if you go to the true closed center, variable displacement, load sensing systems that they use today I believe you get a pretty good system. All the advantages of variable displacement/closed center with a system that can unload itself when there's no demand. That was the failing of the Manheim Deere's around here... and these Deere's he's looking at are all Manheim tractors. I'd not particularly hold that against them if they'd do the job tho. They're still pretty good tractors. The ones I see around this area, in spite of their hydraulic troubles... have given little trouble otherwise and all have high hours.
