Dollars per mile is rounded up. Sitting over $1 but less than $2/mi. 5500mi machine. $4k was the big repair bill for ECU, cv shafts, troubleshooting/labor. Expecting a $2k+ bill now for new primary clutch, belt, secondary gone through and service. Put one set of tires on for another $600. Honestly surprised we haven’t dusted the engine yet. But like you say 5-6k ranch miles and they are shot. All the A arm bushings, shocks are gone on ours, probably needs hubs and brakes as well. In laws power steering rangers have ate a couple steering racks as well.


Seriously what are you doing as all of ours have 2x to 4x the miles you claim they are shot at and all we have done is put tires on and a single starter. The highest mileage machine(over 20k miles) we just rebuilt the engine.

Ours are 99% ranch duty, we don't go spraying or anything with it, the last 1% is farm duty moving equipment around. By everyone's logic, we should have a melted blob of plastic and aluminum.

What are you people seriously doing to your things?


Using them incorrectly evidently. But there are at least 2 other people that share my same issues. Cole Trickle is spot on IMO.
