Yes Ford Hydraulics where a little slow until the -010 series but have very few problems.
For a little more one can move up to a 5600 or 6600 with external hydraulic filter that's easier to chance than the one in the belly of a JD.
How hard it is to replace brakes is irrelevant, the question should be how good are the brakes and how well do they hold up.
The inboard wet disc brakes on 4000 and larger Fords is a excellent braking system that will last for thousands of hours.
My 67 5000 and 69 4000 still have the original brakes with plenty of adjustment, last time I adjusted the brakes on my 4000 was in 2000, adjusted the ones on the 5000 a couple years ago, adjusting nuts where full out making me think it was the first time they where ever adjusted.
For snow removable I'd want something with a cab like a 5610 or 6610 but that adds a good bit to the price, cab also makes them harder to work on.
