 Re: tractor life span?

Now the USAF rides tractors hard and puts them away wet. Usually they have 2 or 3 users a day in civil engineering squadrons doing normal tractor use in road and grounds. 6 to a dozen users per day if they are being used on the flightline towing equipment. So the life expectancy of their tractors is 15 years maximum if I remember from AF TO 36a-1-1301. | Good Afternoon Dr Zinj,
Also happy fourth to you !
Maybe you fellas didnt notice but this thread is well over 7 years old ! Just thought I would mention it, you probablly wont get a reply from the OP !
