The machine maybe able to run 23.5 hrs of the day. However every manufacture says 80% of max power continuos with 20% reserve for tough spots and hills.
You can tell the machinery that was operated at 100%, turned up or worse yet lugged down. Before it's time, the beat up/worn junk is then sold at consignment sales. And the owner/operator then has the nerve to yap off complaining the machine isn't durable.

Gassers in the days of old suffered short lives due to unburned fuel from carburetor mixture control, points ignition and that dirty abrasive deposit making leaded gasoline.
I dare say a fuel injected computer controlled electronic ignition unleaded gasser could hold it's own today against some diesels in some applications.
