Having just seen some FMC 5008 machines up for auction with around 33000 hrs on the clock I was wondering how long everyone is trying to run their machines? We have them on our capital replacement program at ten years, which equates to around 45K hrs for us. I think the 5008 came on the market around 2005? so the oldest ones should be around 12 years. Are any of these first machines still in use?
