Hit 5000 hours on my Grove RT530E and it hit different

I was just checking my hour meter last week on a job site near the Port of Oakland and realized I rolled past 5000 hours on this rig. Started on it back in 2018 when it had 3200 hours, so that felt like a real milestone to me. It's not like a huge number compared to some old timers but it made me think about how many lifts and moves that represents. Anyone else track their hours closely or just glance at it during PMs?

Buddy of mine hit 10k on his and said it still ran like a top.

Did he rebuild it or just keep riding it stock?

Man, 10k without a rebuild? That thing must've been babied or just built like a tank. My own bike's lucky to hit 5k before I start hearing weird noises and panic-spending on parts I don't need. But hey, @lopez.brooke, if your buddy's still rolling strong, he's clearly doing something right that I'm definitely not. Probably just jinxed myself now and mine will blow up tomorrow.
