Moving a few thousand bales over 35 years isn’t that much. What if you were stacking a thousand bales a day. Would the tractor still hold up to the job? It’s no question that the tractor loader is built a lot lighter duty than a true industrial loader would be.

I didn't think we were discussing a big commercial operation here but regardless.
Loading and stacking and feeding 4 bales at a time up to 1000 bales a year over 35 years is a bit more than a few thousand bales me thinks.I bought this old 75 hp 2wh dr clonker used with well over 5000 hrs on it. At the time it was my only tractor, it did the baling and all loader chores as well Today it has well over 17000 hrs on it with hardly ever a breakdown save for a few starters and tires.It is my back up tractor today.
Did you ever see another 40+ year old tractor regardless of make do that?
