The main frame is a tank, just grease the disc bearings often. We used to have trouble with the levelers falling off, we thought the components were too cheap. But we finally figured it out last fall. The secret to the levelers is the bolt that they pivot around at the front of the leveler arm. You have to keep that bolt (with the pivot bushing) tighter than the hubs of hell, because if you don't they start wiggling side to side and pretty soon something lets go, usually the spring and washers, but often the whole arm and disc gang is gone too. Gives you something to do the next spring, trying to find the new landmines. Once we figured out to keep them tight, we didn't have any issue the rest of the fall (1000+ acres). Set your ripper depth where you want, and then run as much disc as you can pull, and you'll really like the finished product. Good luck!!
