Looks like 239 to me.
Last time I saw my tractor I think I had 117 hours on it...
I might get some seat time this weekend while wife and kids are out of town...
If the tropical storm goes past us...

Hi David, I am at 142. I guess I passed you a while back.
Yes Sir! You sure did.
I am soo glad you enjoy your Kioti sir!
David
hate to tell you this, but it is 239 hours. There is no decimal on the Kioti hour meter.. and it just runs. it is not speed sensitive or PTO sensitive or anything, it is just a clock.
Well, that sure comes as a surprise. You would imagine I would have a sense of the difference between 25 and 250 hours but the tractor was used so sparingly and intermittently and usually a low RPM. I made the assumption (obviously wrong) that the meter worked with RPMs like my former tractors - Zetor 5245 and Massey 35 - not just as a clock. Lots of those clock hours - likely about 80% to 90% - were at idle speed while I was puttering away at something else and the tractor was waiting to take tools etc. back to the barn. Oh well .....
