NC Missouri
I have the older series Patriot which had the tar beat out of it before we bought it. Had to beef up the floor cab mounts. Also had the tank saddle support break up near the middle ring. Try to take any excessive forward/backward slack out of the booms to minimize any "slap". Everyday I make a quick check for rubbing hoses or a hairline crack in the booms. Much simpler to catch a "tiny" problem versus a ruptured hose or busted boom section. Also replace wheel gear oil yearly with high grade oil since not many dollars involved.
