Overview
This isn't about a specific tractor purchase but a general operator's discussion on habits that shorten equipment life across tractors, skid steers, and excavators. It covers loader misuse as a bulldozer, travel speed with heavy loads, preventative maintenance like clearing zerks and cooling units, running RPMs hot under load, and excavator boom-turning wear on bearings. It's opinion-and-feedback style, not a spec walkaround, useful for owners wanting maintenance habit tips.
An experienced equipment owner-operator sharing personal opinions and inviting viewer feedback rather than presenting expert-verified facts.
