I've run a ford 5000 and an IH 574 both for many hours. Liked the 574 better. Open platform without all the darn shifters in the way. All necessary controls were at your right hand, synchronized transmission (no gear grinding to shift), short turning radius and not shy on power. Also our 574 had an inline shift patern for 1-2-3-4 and then another lever for high low reverse, but no t/a. Gives you a gear for everything. Thats a real nice feature especially when clearing snow with a back blade or doing loader work. The ford was slow, hard to shift cleanly, and seemed to take 40 acres to turn around. Also it only had 2 reverse gears. One was too fast and the other was painfully slow. No dual power in the ford.
