We have 4 TB240s at work. All are 4 years old and range from 1800 to 3500 hours. They have been great machines. One had a recurring issue with going into limp mode due to a regen error but that was a bad switch taken care of under warranty.
The operator presence lever is an easy fix but that is the only recurring issue we've had. The lever is held in place by 2 very small screws which break between 800 and 1000 hours. We just drill them out and use 1/4" grade 8 nuts and bolts, never a problem after that. A couple hoses, one seat belt and regular maintenance covers everything else I've had to do to these machines.

They are fantastic machines. The tb230 is under 26hp, so no regen worries.
