My boom truck just logged 10,000 hours on the meter. That's a lot of lifts.
It hit the number yesterday on a school job in Akron. Made me think hard about checking every cable and sheave before the next shift. Anyone else get that gut check when the clock rolls over?

You said that 10,000 hour mark made you think hard about checking cables and sheaves. That's smart. Does your company have a specific checklist for big hour milestones like that, or is it more just your own personal routine? I'm always curious how other operators handle the mental shift when a machine hits a major number.

Honestly, the whole "mental shift at a big number" thing... I don't really get that. For me, it's just the next hour on the meter. The real checklists come from the service manual, not from a feeling when the clock rolls over. You just follow the book for the 10k service, same as the 1k.
