I was talking about that with a friend and we came to the conclusion that it comes down to time or money. if you need to work that machine every day to make a living you need one in top condition. if it is a hobby or farm machine then reliability is less of a problem. i have a 1991 jd 450c that has 8000 hours on it but the motor and trans and brakes and uc had been done before i bought it. i got lucky and hit the ideal balance with that machine. it works steady every day. and i don't have to spend 8 hours every night fixing it. i wish i could claim credit for that but as my wife likes to point out "even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while" anyway my thoughts on this topic for what they are worth.

Boy, Deas explained that one good.I'll say one thing,I have seen some eqip on job sites with a couple thousand hrs in worse shape than others with 10,000. Operator and grease guns make a big diff.

Hi, Allen. Why is a hen? How is a policeman? How long is a piece of string?

Your question is pretty much un-answerable because of so many variables. Some people will have a set number of hours that they trade them in at. Others will just keep repairing and repairing. Then there's the work it has been put into, whether hard or easy, the maintenance it has had --- or hasn't had, and whether or not it was serviced regularly and thoroughly --- or not.

Some would say, if it works, it ain't worn out, if it don't, work fix it. Others want to trade them in when the first paint scratch appears. I've known people who would never put new tires on a car. When the tires were worn out it, was time to trade the car. Does that make the car worn out?

It's all a matter of perception -- of how much time - and money - you are willing to spend keeping the whatever going as opposed to the amount of work you have for it, or for a new one.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
