Funny. I would not add hours to my tractor meter for something as useless as idleing. The number on the hour-meter is an important number and you're making it meaningless. You have to change fluids more often (if you maintain by the hour meter). And the next buyer gets to beat you down for that big number and scores an un-used tractor.
My dad used to let his Dumptruck idle because the air brakes leaked down, he at least had a reason but he could have fixed the leak. For all these years I've thought that people with diesel pickups let them idle (rather than shut them off) to pretend like they have a "big truck".
