[QUOTE="chevytaHOE5674, post: 1627862, member: 19817"] You cant beat the productivity of a hydro thus the reason so many machines are heading that direction. But for a small time operator who is generally buying older used equipment a guy has to be more cautious. I've serviced 400,000 dollar pieces of logging equipment with 30,000 to 40,000+ hours and never any hydro troubles. Those guys use good oil, filter cart the oil, change filters religiously, keep coolers cleaned out, watch oil temps, etc. On the flip side I just helped my buddy put a reman hydro unit in a piece of logging equipment at 8k hours to a cost of 45k dollars. The owner uses garbage oil that looked like a milkshake, filters probably never changed, cooler plugged solid, etc. [/QUOTE]
