This raises a good question. I go to auctions all the time and I see big ag tractors with 4000+ hours. Does anyone have an idea what the average number of hours that a tractor will last before overhaul?

I could guess that a newer high hour tractor would be synonymous as a truck with a lot of highway miles.

When I see anything at 1000+ hours I wonder how long it will last - kind of like the 100,000 mile barrier on a vehicle.
