Folks,

Took delivery of my NS 6010 HS 2 weeks ago and am trying to go by the book on break-in (initial 20 hours)
My dilemma : I have 5 hours on the clock now and need to do some leveling on my property to start a barn project.
Question : would it be OK to (already) do some work with a box blade ?

When we bought a new tractor on the farm we hooked it to disc plow or whatever and worked it ten twelve hours

For first 50 hours of use keep RPMs limited to 2000 as much as possible is my understanding. Also let the tractor idle and warm up before using it and cool down after use.

Well, hell… my first 15 hours have been 2400rpm PTO tilling. I let it warm up, and cool down a bit…. but I just work it
