Simplicity helps, but does not equal reliability by itself. Things still have to be done right. CIH has done a lot of things right with the axial machines over the years. I like the 62/72 series Gleaners (with the cummins) on up, but would prefer a red one over an N5-7 or R5-7. Some of the tricks of taking a Gleaner to higher hours with few problems involve little things like making sure the main shaft is tightened with enough of torque annually. You don't really need a dealer to do this stuff, but it does help to know what to look for and make sure the little things are done along the way. I've got no doubt a well maintained red one can also be reliable after several thousand huors.
