Thanks for the info. The 3414 with loader weighs 6100 lbs. The hoe on back the probably weighs 2200 - 2500 lbs. Max. So, it's not a very heavy machine. The 723 hoe on my 4000 Ford weighs 2200 lbs. and the 9250 hoe on my 300B Deere weighs 2550 lbs. and is heavy than the IH hoe.
The 3414 I bought has a left swing that sometimes doesn't work at all, and sometimes works slowly. Right swing is supposed to work OK. So, it sounds like a hydraulic problem and not a hard-metal failure somewhere (I hope). I'm 800 miles away and bought it without being there to personally inpsect it. I've been looking for a older hoe for over a year for my properties in northern Michigan. There's not much that comes up that's priced reasonble. Here in central New York, I come across used hoes every week in the $2500 - $4000 price ranges. So, when I found this hoe for $3000 - and got a $600 price to truck it 240 miles - I bought it.
In regard to the swing tending to get sloppy. If so, I'll just have to live with it. Many hoes made by Allis Chalmers, MF, and Deere have the exact same problem with their unitized barrel cylinders mounted in splines. No parts available for them either.

The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
