Hit 500 lifts on my Grove yesterday and it finally clicked

I've been running a Grove GMK5250 for about 8 months now at a job site near Houston. Yesterday I hit 500 total lifts on the hour meter and it really surprised me how fast that number climbed. That's a lot of picks in a short time and it made me realize I need to be more careful about my pre-shift inspections. Anyone else track their lift count and notice things wearing out faster than you expected?

Yeah 500 picks on a GMK will show you how fast those swing bearings can start feeling loose.

Can confirm that's overblown.
