We don't usually keep skid steers beyond 4,000 hours, some barely make to 2,500. I can remember a few Kubotas that had engine failures but not any Doosans yet. Most of our Kubota engine failures have been in other equipment that exceeded 4,000 hours. I'm not aware of any fuel issues. The only cold weather issue is they won't run above an idle until the hydraulic oil is warm.
