Steven: My issue, my 656 at 15,000 hours, still had all it's original tyrods, spindles, main pivot pin, etc. 1066 a very little heavier front end had been completely rebuilt 3 times in 15,000 hours. 1066 never had a loader, yet it broke two spindles from front wheels bogging down insoft ground. Yes I believe operator could have been a bit more alert, however at 6 mph there was little time.
Lets face it these issues just don't happen with articulated tractors. Sure we can go conventional tractor with front drive and 24" front tires, however I see guys rebuilding those every 5,000 hours, not cheap either. The first and only time I replaced articulation joint on my Deere was at 11,000 hours, pivot only the steering cylinders were fine. As I recall those upper and lower replacements were under $100.
