[QUOTE="dun, post: 1151490, member: 34"] With a quality hog the gearbox issues are almost certainly from abuse (or over estimating it's ability whihc develops into abuse). Getting it new will eliminate the previous owners careless/abusive use so it's all back to you and how you use it. The occasional grinding in the dirt/rocks or hitting a stump just right (or wrong) can;t alwasy be avoided. I think back to how much mooney something costs and I tend to use it more judiciously. Some folks think I'm anal, but when I law up any piece of equipment that has accumulated chaff/grass I clean it off. A broom and a water hose w/nozzle will do wonders for making stuff not rust out and last a lot longer. [/QUOTE]
