Deltared, high hours are relelevent, it's all in how they were maintained. I farmed in the Mississippi delta, on my main tillage tractors I tried to get 20,000 before I did anything to them. only did anything then if needed!
good luck

It depends on how hard they were worked. Most 06 and 66 series tractors dont have to work that hard any more do to the fact that most farmers have newer tractors to do the heavy work. I know of tractors that are only 10 or so years old that have 20,000 hours on them but all they do is sit on a TMR ideling. Now if you or someone else had a 1066 that was the main tractor and it had 40 years of solid non stop hard work with 20,000 on it then I would be impressed. but most tractors now a days that are that old are used as a light duty tractor and such. It used to be that a farmer had one big main tractor to do all the heavy tillage and chopping with, no so anymore. but 20,000 hours is still impressive
