I suggested they buy Toyotas again but it was only price that they looked at. I also think there may be some friction between them and the dealer. They really don't have any concept what 27000 hours of operation is.
These machines were logging 100 hours per week so I did oil changes every 400 hours. The longest down time was overnight, a few times, during the 5 1/2 years off use. And, I think the only time they cooled down was Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Day. I don't know how you could do better than that. It sure is a far cry from the Schreck I used to have to keep running. That thing got to the point of almost breaking in half so I told the customer to throw it out.
