General-purpose machine, general-purpose neglect: hydraulics do most of the work and take most of the damage. The hazard worth naming is the pinhole hose leak — high-pressure fluid injection looks like a minor puncture and is a surgical emergency, so a chafed hose is not a drip to monitor.
ChatterFix builds these as child assets under backhoe loader, so failure history and PM completions attach to the component that actually failed — not just to the machine.
The failure modes worth designing a maintenance schedule around — in rough order of what they cost when they happen.
Recording that a PM was "done" tells you nothing next quarter. These are the readings that let you see a failure coming — and the reason ChatterFix captures measurements against the asset rather than just completions.
The parts whose absence turns a short repair into a long outage.
