[QUOTE="Earthwerks Unlimited, post: 24289, member: 1300"] The industry standard for equipment is 600 hours per year. How those hour accumulate is not addressed--could be really hard, could be easy. But like anything i life--living or not, just like a human heart--people die at 15 running track just as easily as an 80 year old getting up out of bed. All you can do is preventive maintenance. If you're curious where the life span “ticker” is on your machine you can get it leakdown tested, along with pressure tests for injectors, pump and hydraulics. Even the the engine oil and coolant can be tested for evidence of wear. And 5K hours on a diesel engine is normal before rebuild. And funny thing about “5K“--that also represents the DOLLAR amount it costs to rebuild! [/QUOTE]
