Just arrived and hour meter is broken

Justified when you do it, but not others because your circumstances were MORE extenuating?

It didn’t make it any less of a gamble. I could have easily received not what I was expecting and it would be too bad.

100,000 miles on a commuter car in Arizona v 100,000 miles as an Uber in NYC. Your argument is invalid.

That sentence is a counter to your own argument, not mine.

 

[BlueKnife]

Fair points, all true. I still like to see low hours though since, the longer someone who isn't caring for their equipment has been using it, the more damage they have done. If they have had it for 300hrs. and neglecting it, the damage is less than if they have owned it 2,000hrs.

Hours are certainly a consideration, no question about that. They're just a lot lower on the list than mileage is on a car, IMO.

I may have just missed it earlier, but it appears the OP recently updated his profile to include his location (NYC).

Other than maybe working in Central Park, what the heck is someone doing with a 100 hp tractor in NYC?

Hauling migrants out?

So, what is the best indicator of how much usage a tractor has had?

I like to use the degree of paint fade divided by the viscosity of the engine oil multiplied by the number of miles the seller is from my farm. Then, you have to cross-reference your results with the trustworthiness scale. I think you need a subscription for that, though.

What do you think the naked cowboy in Times Square does with his spare time?

What difference does it make where he lives?

What difference does it make that I commented on his location?

Could be the one and only ever TBN member from NYC?
