Questions:
1. Anyone have a rough idea of cost to replace the deck components/belts, and is it really worth doing on a machine from '07 vs. just investing in a new machine?
2. Suggestions on new machines to look for? We've only got 3/4 acre and I'm only towing the splitter and a garden trailer a couple times a year.
Thanks!

If the machine runs fine, then nothing needs to be replaced other than maintenance items like oil or a spark plug if it starts running rough. It's up to you, if you want something new, go for it. But it sounds like your machine is running well, I'd run it into the ground. Belts are usually easy to replace yourself or cheap to have someone do it. But again, I wouldn't bother until something goes wrong.
