It was a great machine ( i wish i would not of sold it). I didn't know how many friends I had until I purchased it. I lent it out to a few friends that were competent on skid steers and responsible. It turns out that I had impeccable timing when i lent it out. The first time was to a neighbor who worked for NC Machinery. I ran it for about two hours one day at my house. I lent it to him a half hour after i finished, and a 1/2 hour later the exhaust manifold to muffler pipe burned through<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> It would of happened to me, but he felt so bad, he bought the part and installed. Two other times I lent it out and each time it blew a hose. Even though I told them not to worry about it as it would have happened to me, they too replaced the hoses! I guess that that old saying "timing is everything" is indeed everything<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
