Sounds high to me. We have a 15 year old 1660 and we run over 1100 acres of corn_wheat_soybeans with it and we're still on the original unloading tubes and augers. I've replaced the vertical one and the 2 in the tank a couple years ago. I've had the problem with holes in the floor and sump. I've done cone_vanes_feederhouse bottom this past year for the first time. I've never had to do any elevator housings yet. I've got 4000 hours on my machine though. I had a neighbour tell me the newer stuff doesn't go as far. His theory was the grade of steel in them. His experience was similar to your own.
