The proposed regulations are far too drastic.  The major
contractors and mines buy new machines for ready work and put lots
of hours on them. Then contractors like myself buy them and hope to
use them enough to justify them. In good years we get 400-600 hours
of use per machine, in bad years 0 to 200 hours use per machine. If
I really see a high use for a machine, I buy new. And what will
happen to used equipment values, much of my net worth, if even new
machines have only a 10 to 15 year lifespan before they are
outlawed? Please vote no on the current proposal and reconsider
your rules.  Clay Green
