Modern ag shredders

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but it's about the modern ag galvanised shredders. I been looking around for reviews on them but can't seem to find any. We have 2 made by them one 15' purchased in 2012 and one 20' purchased in 2014. The 15' seems to be built pretty well we haven't really had to do anything to it. The 20' has multiple issues tho. First off the center gearbox came loose now that's usually a simple fix tightening bolts and what not. However on this model the bolts are welded to the bottom deck and there isn't enough room between the stump jumper and deck to get your hand in there to weld them back up. We took it back to where we bought it and they had to pull the stump jumper and all that off just to get to it. They tightened it and doubled nutted it and so far it's been working. Next problem is the wheel bearings and axle. We can't keep wheel bearings in this thing they go out constantly and to replace the axle you have to cut it out and weld in a new one in their defense we are running the hard rubber tires. Last and i think final problem we have had with it is the wings flop a lot this maybe common with big shredders but not sure this was the first 20' we owned. The deck on the wing did start to crack in front where it hinges but we have reinforced that and no issues since. Now don't get me wrong this shredder has seen a lot of acres and it does get pulled down the highway some but not much and we take it slowly down the road so the little wheels can keep up. Other than that the shredders are built heavy duty. One other thing I might add is the wings are not self leveling they have the turn buckles the level them but that's not that big of an issue. Anyone else run these shredders or have any problems with them?
