It might be throw away to you in five years but not to me or a lot of people. My Ferris is 15 years old and I plan on keeping it for another 20 years or till I can't run it anymore from old age.
I agree with reynoldston ...... I believe most people using these forums ( at least 60 % --??? ) are here because we do our own maintenance , or at least most of it. I think todays generation ia a throw-away society, very few people are inclined or enthusiastic about D.I.Y. as it was during the period following W.W. II , Of course back then, ....... things were built in AMERICA ...... proudly, and built to last. Today , everything is plastic and recycled garbage , we've sold out the quality, pride , integrity , and most of all the generations of once handed -down , generation to generation of CRAFTSMANSHIP. !!!! I'll agree, we have seen some spectacular advances with todays sophisticated technology, BUT I don't see anything like a Hoover dam , or the monuments in Washington , the Pyramids etc. etc. . Everything I own , I maintain , only when I DON'T have the resources or specialized equipment I need , do I go elsewhere . DRIVE IT TILL THE WHEELS FALL OFF !! , THEN get ANOTHER set of wheels , ..... and keep on going !!!! :thumbsup:
