You need to check your numbers. The 5088 has the DT-438 engine that had over 35% torque rise from the factory, I don't think Deere touched that until the 7000 series came out. The Deere engine is a good one but without a cross flow head it doesn't have the performance that the IH has and cost alot more to work on. The IH transmission is much heavier built than either of the Deere's and the same basic tranmission is still used on the MX Magnums. The IH's used a wet clutch as well and they almost never need replaced. The IH transmission is much easier to shift and from an operator's standpoint the clutch on the IH puts the Deere to shame. I guess you've never been in an 88 series cab because the only controls not on the right hand console are the park lock lever and the throttle. At Nebraska tractor tests the 88 series cab was quieter than Deere's and I think it has better visibility. When it comes to hydraulic's I'm pretty sure the 40 series Deere's have around 20 gpm at 2,500 psi to the remote valves, the IH's have 27 gpm at 2,750 psi and try adjusting the flow rate from the cab on a Deere. Off the top of my head I don't recall the lift capacity on the 3pt of the 88 series but it was close to 10,000lbs and the drawbar's on the IH's are alot stronger (try putting a 750 bushel grain cart on a 4440). The standard IH front axle was weak but the high capacity front axle offered on the 88 series is much heavier than the Deere's, they have used the same front axle on 2wd tractor's clear up through the current MX Magnum tractor's and I've never heard of one breaking. I won't say that there have been less repairs made on IH tractor's than Deere's but keep in mind that JD still hasn't built as many tractor's as IH did and they've had 20 years to catch up. I'm not saying that the Deere's aren't good tractor's but you'd better have some real numbers to back it up if your going to tell me that IH never built anything that compares to them.

Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Plugs & Compression Testing - by Curtis Von Fange. The engine seems to run rough. In the exhaust you can hear an occasion 'poofing' sound like somethings not firing on all cylinders. Under loaded conditions the tractor seems to lack power and it belches black smoke out of the exhaust. For some reason it just doesn't want to start up without cranking and cranking the starter. All these conditions can be signals that your unit is in need of a tune up. Ok, so what is involved in a tune up? You say, swap plugs and file the points....now tha
