In the grand scheme of things it won't matter much but I would definitely raise a stink about it. If I am buying a new machine I expect it to have close to zero hours. Obviously it will have some time being moved around, tested, etc but that would be maybe five hours tops. Yours was either used by the dealer on the lot or worse was test drove by sixty people thirty minutes at a time. I would definitely want those hours added on to my warranty, a discount, and maybe a free 50 hr service.
Adding engine hours to warranty coverage isn't of any benefit. 99% of CUT warranties run out on the calendar, not the hour meter.
Free 50 hr service is a good compromise, I'd say.
