How many hours do you have on your tractor

[Mikefromcny]

I've got an old white field boss made by iseki. Farmer who owned it since new claimed it has around 23k hours. Not sure how it's possible, would definitely believe it has 13k hours. Motor has never been apart with the exception of a head gasket. Still starts easy, even when cold.

Last year I purchased a well used but maintained 325d Toro Groundsmaster from a gentleman that resells municipal and gold course machines. The machine has a little 25 HP Mitsubishi diesel. The hour meter had been replaced but was stuck on 145 hours. It still is.

I have no idea the number of hours on a 1998 72" mower but I would guess in the 3000 hour range. I can tell you that last year with my mowing it uses little oil. I would guess that it was well maintained.

Just as an aside, I also have a Toro Workman 2100 that is a 2005 model with a working meter on it and 2900 hours showing. It has a Briggs and Stratton 16 HP V-Twin Vanguard. It runs like a top. I have no idea if the engine has been repaired or not.

Year 2000 Mahindra 2810 was purchased by me in 2013 from original owner with 204 hours on it. Now up to 628 hours. Plenty of low hour tractors on tractorhouse app out there. Just be patient and find what you want.

John Deere 2030 is getting close to 4400 hours. It's a 1974 and I have owned it since 1994. But it uses an engine driven hour meter that is calibrated to 1 hour at PTO rpm, so operation at lower rpm puts less than an hour on in an hour of operation. So if it idled at 1000rpm for an hour, it would only add less than 1/2 hour.

1087 of hard hours!!!! Last week at 1085 hr my fan belt broke while doing some loader work, one good reason for idiot lights even a idiot can see the Battery light come on and know somethings wrong. Things like this is why I have a orange tractor, even though I was done anyways at 3pm on a Sat afternoon, I went down to where I bought it and got another belt, they dont close til 5pm M-S. The Green tractor place closes at 12 noon on Sat, very frustrating for weekend tractor operators.

Still on the same battery...........

New Holland T6050, newer style has clock hours;


CIH 7230, older style engine hours at pto speed,


The CIH Puma is over 9000 hrs, the CIH 7110 and 7120 are both around 9000, the IH 1066 and 1086 are unknown well over 15,000 hrs, Ford 8000 over 15,000,
Deere 4020 and 4430 over 10,000, the IH 656's and 560 and 400 hard to say between 10,000 and 25,000 hours.

^^^^^^^^^^Isn't 10,000 hr a lot? How many hr can be put on a tractor before motor rebuild?

^^^^^ It's hard to say, I've seen some with 20,000 without an overhaul.
The maintenance makes a lot of difference and how hard they are pushed.
The 7230 had a head gasket start leaking last year, so we pulled the head had it gone thru,
seats cleaned up and new guides. The engine will use a couple of quarts of oil a hundred hours when
worked hard on the chopper or doing heavy tillage, but still runs good.
The 1066 and 4430 have been gone thru, they were done before my brother got them for the farm,
they both came off the local tractor pull circuit and actually got turned back done a bit for using them for work again.
The 560 and 400 have been majored once before. The 8000 is tired but still a good worker for lighter jobs.
The Puma and T6050 should go close to 20,000 before needing an overhaul.
Makes my Branson with under 700 seem new still. :thumbsup:

1971 JD 4020 stuck on 9,507 hours since 1998.

I just hit 400 and most of it is from moving snow or moving firewood in one form or another.
