I have owned my MT180D for about 20 years and have dug, spread many loads of soil and gravel, graded drives and blown as well as plowed many drives.
Probably 7-800 hours or so.
Maybe I am an above average operator but have never had any problems and I don't have insurance, but then I know the equipment's limitations and I get to fix my problems.
There are times when SLOW is the only way.
I never let folks push me to go faster.
But then some guys are just plain scary operators.
One guy when he mounts equipment is when I leave. (either he'll injure me or I'll be loading him off to emergency)
Another seems to break anything he uses, especially anything borrowed. He then claims it was so abused or poorly designed that he is not responsible.
