[QUOTE="gtstang462002, post: 41698, member: 3704"] I have a T300 that has 3900 hours on it, no smoke and no lack of power. The company that I got this machine from has a twin to this machine that has almost 5000 hours on it and is still going strong. That machine stays at the nursary any more doing light duty work, but is used daily none the less. I think that a lot of the life of the machine also depends on the quality of parts that you put into them, for example that machine with 5000 hours gets a set of aftermarket rollers every 300 hours $2000 per set. The OEM rollers run $3040 for a set but last over 1000 hours but they are only focusing on the immediate cost instead of the cost per 1000 hours. Bottom line is you get what you pay for with most of the hard parts. I will spend a little more on the front end and get more life out of the part. [/QUOTE]
