Buying Advice New Tractor Delivery Hour Meter

A thousand apologies to all concerned.
When it finally arrived it had 1.6 hours on the clock.
I found that to be an acceptable amount of time.
What say you, Guys?

Anything over 1.55555999999900000000000001 hours is excessive.

I'd be concerned if a machine that tracked more digits to the right of the decimal point than the left...

I have been so backed up with work that I avent had time to even lurk on here since I posted last.

When a machine is as late as these guys made it the work just keeps backing up.

So the day after it arrived I hit the ground running, so to speak, with it.

I'll say this for the tree huggers on our planet. I wish they'd just leave our
tractors alone. I can't believe how much fuel I am using with this new unit.

I'm further lead to believe that it's due to the Tier 4 emission controls placed
on it by our Fearless Leader in the White House and his band of thieves
infesting DC.

Like the Old Man said: Too old, too soon. Too smart, too late.

I almost wish I would've bought an older machine.

Don't get me wrong. It's all pretty, shiny and glistens in the sun but
the only one impressed with that is the banker that loaned me the money.

Yeah, yeah, yeah...It'll run circles around my old tractor which, BTW, I sold to my next door neighbor.
But that's another story.

What was your previous tractor? What sort of fuel burn per hour did it get, and what are you getting with the new LS?

In most cases, modern emissions controls don't hurt fuel economy, and many of them have actually led to improved FEL economy, and power.

I'm sure you realize that the EPA Tier IV standards were finalized in 2004....long before Obama, right?

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but has Tier IV rolled out to tractors yet? I thought we were still at Tier III.

Nope, we're at Tier IV for any non-road diesels up to 75hp, and the 75hp+ standards kick in by 2014. The range from 25-75hp had a period of 2008 to 2013 to fully implement Tier IV.

Like said, you can not blame epa BS for high fuel use.

Every body should have nice clean air to breathe like the residents of Beijing China if they want it. It should be a crime to deny people the opportunity to enjoy fresh clean air.
