Busy root farm so it’s running from July till December plus some ground in spring often do 2 passes on a chunk of ground if hard etc post irrigation and also don’t currently run a press etc so will do 4+k easily a year a 4.5m on back of 400hp it’s 7 year old and this is first year we’ve gone through bearings on discs tend to do 2-3 packer bearings a year though. Did 3 complete housings where to far gone but hoping to have picked up others up in time as lasting well but just my experience here all machines have different strains etc but love the trio these just our findings on 2012 machineFairly busy trio then if it does 3500 acres a year , I suppose it all depends were the machine is in it's life , our trio was one of the first built and is now a triggers broom , been a fantastic machine !!!! But we have had the bearing housings wear which means that it would be silly of us to try and get away with just bearings ,,,,,, but I was also told that replacement bearings won't last like the originals due to shaft wear were the seal sits and therefore seals don't do the full job , maybe bullpoo , I don't know
