That may well be with a half ton trailer, but you start putting a 1,000 hours per year on them pulling every thing from hay balers, big trailer cultivators, forage harvesters, etc. and you will soon see you don't have much of a drawbar. I know there are late 50s and early 60s fast hitch tractors all over America with 3,000 to 5,000 hours on them, hardly broke in. I would guess my 300 probably has 25,000 hours on it today, I don't own it anymore but know the guy that has it and it is now on it's 6th set of pistons and sleeves and 3rd drawbar. The larger tractors were even worse, buy the time my 560 had 6,000 hours on it the fast hitch drawbar had about 6" side to side movement and had been rebuilt twice. I will agree big trailer implememts did a lot of the wear.
