I think all hour meters should be in RPM time. Example one hour at 540 pto or operating RPM =one hour. My 1969 international hour meter is this way. If your idleing it will take 2 or 3 real hours to get an hour on the meter. When you put a 100 hours on my international, its a working 100 hours. On the New tractors it seems is real hours. If someone doesnt do hardly any work with it but just putts around and stuff for 100 hours it really doesnt reflect how the tractor was used. When you buy a used tractor, You cant really go by the hour meter if its in real time because you dont know what kind of hours are on the tractor and it make a big difference. Something to keep in mind if your buying a tractor ask how the hour meter works. I would say 100 hours on my inernational is like 2 or 300 on this new one.
