Looking at a Cat IT28B wheel loader. Anybody have any experience with these? Good or bad?

We have 3 of them at work. 2 around 7500 hours and have had no problems other than an occasional blown hose. The third one has about 13000 hours and is now beginning to have alot of electrical problems. Corroded connections in the wiring harness,sending units going bad, alot of hydraulic weeps, boom needs to be bebushed, intermittent function failures,(lights,bucket kickout, electronic throttle),mainly due to wiring issues.But it always starts All 3 have been serviced at 250 hour intervals and are greased daily. The high hour one is scheduled to be traded off very soon as it has become less than dependable. This seems to be indicative of all our high houred machines,the drive train seems to hold up, but the complexity of the electrical issues are a constant source of problems
