We ran a 2166 to 5300 something engine hrs, think It was around 4000 sep. hours. We never had a problem with any of the gearboxes, so that wouldn't worry me.
Its all about the care when you have a machine laden with gearboxes. We have a friend with a 2002 2388 and about the only gearbox untouched was the transmission, and that went out last year.
That thing has been a money pit. rotor gearbox, engine gearcase, etc. I think he got a machine that the previous owner didnt take care of.
Buying used, previous owner care is always a concern. with a red or green neglect can become a huge expense. Gleaner? if you let a belt get too nasty it might break, and it might try to catch a bracket and bend it. Way cheaper to deal with neglect when its just belts and pulleys. We all remember the stories of the MUD yearly rollover machines that still had paint on fittings that should have been hit weekly. |
