Was told head was a 1992 model when bought from dealer. Have used it 2 seasons for a total of about 1200 acres. Not sure of acres before that. I would rate tin work a 7 on 1-10 scale. Snouts have some areas that were worn and fixed prior to us owning it but no major dents, bends or kinks. Gathering chains real good, rolls rounded off about 1 to 1 1_2 inches from lead corner. Overall it works great and needs nothing to go to field. Can pull it out of the shed to take a couple pictures and email them if desired. Email or call 319-347-6371 with other questions. Thanks. Jeff
