My New Holland 6610 has 7,000 hours
xr 3037 with that just rolled over 1700 hours, mostly bush hogging trail maintenance and tilling food plots in rocky ground.... rebuilt tiller at least 3 times and hog has had 2 new gearboxes... XR finally tossed the air injector belt this morning, other than a couple issues when new which were very minor, this is the first thing to go wrong. Probably should have replaced it already...
Awesome! Good to hear! And welcome to the forum!I have a McCormick CT 41 hst. Same as a ls4041. I bought it at a sale non running (bad battery). I think it's a 2008. It looks like the previous owner put it in gear and let it drive itself through the woods. Hood is smashed, fenders are so bad, the guy driving must have lost a leg. I have replaced the water pump, fan belt, PTO switch, and the fuel sending unit. I had the front end rebuilt. I am currently just a few hours shy of 3000 hours. The tractor was obviously abused by the previous owner. Besides looking like hell, it starts, runs, drives and works awesome. I have friends with orange and green machines, I have no more issues than they do. I currently have a mt357 on order. Only bought a new one because I am getting soft and want a cab. I priced new green and orange with the same options, nearly $10k more for less warrenty and different paint. I would say the premium cab on the Deere is nicer, but not $10k nicer. I'm not worried about trade in. Overall a great machine. I would like to try a high hp LS, see how it compares to like our JD 6110.
That's a lotta seat time.....sore butt????Well congratulations so far LGvaltra has replied with the highest hours LS tractor at 1578 hours !
I am surprised there have not been some much higher numbers posted, I was expecting to see a bunch with well over 4,000 hours. So far only 28 hours on my new XR 4155. The 2002 Honda Goldwing that I bought brandnew now has 561,000 miles, the engine is still original and runs like new but it does use some oil.
