The problem with using iron balls is the wear it causes on the soft metal in the gear box.
Plastic won't cause much wear, although they will have to be replaced a little more often. And there are some plastic materials that can withstand a lot too.
At the ol print shopwe'd use PEEK Plastic covered rollers for high temp / pressure. A 40" x 8" od 6"id tube was only 11000 doll hairs
The 8 and 10 speed are plastic.
I'm not sure if they are the same size as all the other metal ones or not.
It wouldn't shock me if it was simply cost cutting.
Cost cutting you say !
I surprised no ones tried a CVT in a truck yet.

Howdy dudes! We’re basically done for the week…just watering left to do. Got a chance to use this Genie lift. I gotta say, it was pretty handy. Definitely something I’m going to use again for long hedge rows and multiple palm tree jobs. At 120 bucks a day to rent, it’s a no brainer.

They are a lot more to rent here in the uk per day. But depends on how long you need them, ie.. around 300 pounds per day but a weeks hire soon drops significantly.

But I agree it makes the job far less painful at the end of the day 👍

Edit : I should add… the longer the reach the bigger the hire cost by a long way for the extra feet/meterage you get. But I can understand why etc.

Evening men. I had a buddy braze one of my mower spindles and save me from an epic fûck up. Let’s just say sometimes having 20 tons of pressure at your fingertips isn’t a good thing.

Good morning, fried mashed potatoes down the gullet.
Remember, if Mr. Goodwrench says you need smaller balls, get smaller balls, you big balled son of a...
Isn't there an ACDC that Randy @Mastermind rocks too talking about bigballs?
