[QUOTE="benferg, post: 6516366, member: 789"] I was trying on my phone so it was a bit sort, hope it didn't sound too blunt. In nz we are using the JD drill to go into a lot of stony ground (stones/rocks/boulders) so they get a fair beating. Several owners I know have reported failure of the JD spoked rim. The JD update is to put an extra ring around the outside to strengthen the piece that breaks. Needham wheels use three bolts per spoke instead of 2 that JD uses so more points of contact. Plus the needham stuff seems to be slightly thicker metal & beter quality of metal. Just bought a 3 meter second hand Allen Custom drill (NZ made) to do the steep hill & stony ground, hope to give the JD a better ride. The Allen drill is triple disc, so will not be as good in wet conditions closing the slot, but it will fit a purpose. [/QUOTE]
