I have had lots of work experience with hydraulics. The thing that first impressed me about the DT was the hydraulic slides. I think having 6 or 8 electric motors to go bad is more risky than one hydraulic. Just keep the oil level full and the fittings tight and you shouldn't have much trouble. I'm much more comfortable dealing with a little hydraulic fluid than tracking down electrical problems. Just my opinion....Dave
