How many people run a piece of equipment and don't know nothing about how it runs ? Too many .
Helped a friend get a Rayco walk behind , done dead mid use . Two hundred feet deep over a wall . Wheel down , plow down , tires locked . Now what ? That was today .
Bucket truck , dead, booms up , now what ?
From the engine to the control , it's not rocket science . Keep pushing that bug tree saving boo ha , a lot of equipment funding these shows and more than half of the people buying them or running have no idea but to fuel them up .
-For every root , think grease fitting !
-For every stem , think hydraulic hose .
-For every leaf think clean fuel ( diesel , hydraulic)
-For every time you use it , wonder how it functions . Care slows wear !
Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy, normally from the Sun, into chemical energy that can be later released to fuel the organisms' activities.etc. etc. etc.....
Pto's , valves , hydraulic lines , check valves , 4 wheel blocks , pumps .
Go Green , but Go get a Wrench too !
 
Amen ! Maintenance is a ritual meant to be enjoyed because its more fun than the repair. Especially since you can plan the maintenance in a nice well lit shop, but the break downs will get you out in the dark/ cold /remote area !
 
Being that your brain is your most useful bit of equipment in business, and after deciphering your post, Riggs,
I think you have good advice.
