Sustained RPM\'s
I have a dumb question. Is running my tractor at high RPM's for long periods going to shorten it's life? I have a NH TC40DA with 100 hours on it. I just did some plowing and ran it at high RPM's (around 2500 give or take, I forget) for several hours the other day. I only slowed it once or twice very briefly. I'm still in "car" mode where I know this equates to more rapid engine wear. I am assuming I broke it in properly, and it is serviced by the dealer as recommended. I just don't know how these machines seem to last for decades with that kind of abuse. Thanks.
