I guess I'm scared to jump in. Ours has 32 
million on it. It is a 1999 and is running great. 
We haven't done anything major for over 2 years. 
At that time we spent about $3,000 on it. We've 
maybe spent $5,000 on repairs outside of rollers. 
After reading all the problems on this list I'm 
getting scared as to when our will go. We've made 
good money in the last 8 years with it, but would 
hope to have many more years to come.
