: : I'm looking for a 25-30 HP tractor. What is considered normal usage hours (ex. 100/yr) for a late model tractor.
: :::Oh boy, I get to go first. It all depends,(sorry, but you always have to leave away out, in case someone who actually knows what they are talking were to answer) on what the tractor was used for, I've been told that 5000 hours was rebuild time. But it would be hard to believe, to me, that a tractor that was hooked to a bottom plow its whole life, would have the same life as a tractor that mowed grass. Bonehead
maybe another way to look at it is asume than for each hour it was equal to a car driven 30 mph--then 1000 hours would be 30,000 miles.
not many cars go over 150,000 miles in there lifetime.
