[QUOTE="Ponyroper, post: 85816, member: 423"] No problem johnr. Normally I think like you and avoid throwing more money at a lost cause but the reason I hate to upgrade is because I only need the machine as an emergency backup in case I get stuck or hung up out in the rough country I'm in for my job. Sometimes I get miles out in the middle of nowhere with my company truck and if I drop it in a washout or stumble into a gumbo spot in a low spot it could make for a bad day walking out looking for help. Last year I only put 80 miles on it and most of that was driving laps around the development to see if it would keep working right after getting it back from the shop. The three or four times I really needed it out in the sticks it ran so bad I barely got to a place where I could get help. I hate to spend $3 or 4,000 for a better machine that spends all it's time sitting in the bed of my pickup but I suppose it doesn't make sense to have a cheap machine if it doesn't work when you need it.
