4500 could be scary, depends on how well it has been treated and maintained over the years...most dealers I have talked to (green and orange) seem to agree that 5000 hours is about the time you *might* start spending some serious dough for maintenance, but again, it depends on how hard those hours were. Then again, if you get a tractor for a good price, spend a bit on rebuilding the engine, you could possible get several more thousand hours of use out of it.

Good luck.
