There are many DC's out there running today with literally thousands of hours on them. They are known to last a long time. The cut is good on them, the only reason I didn't ever buy one was they don't have the best hillside ability.

Its funny you say that. Our guys mow highway imbankments with them! Not to say that is the best idea, but, they don't have much other choice. A year or so back, one of the guys was mowing an imbankment. The drive belt broke which left him helpless and with no steering... screaming down the steep incline headed for the road. I guess luckily for him he ran right into his truck and not out in the road. He said is happened so fast there was no time to react. So when he was fixing to hit the truck he put his feet up to protect himself. There was footprints on the side of the truck. Between him and the DC, it did about $2600 worth of damage. Thankfully, he was not injured at all.
