Saw this 10,173 hour Kubota Grand L for sale in Pennsylvania. If the average tractor owner puts 50 hours a year on their tractor, this Grand L would last them 200 years! Just thought it was interesting and a testament to the longevity of diesel tractors. It'd be interesting to see the maintenance and repair history of this tractor.

That's at least 1000 hours per year, and it certainly doesn't show that kind of hours. I suspect it was either pulling a wagon, or some stationary service for its entire life. Maybe at a marina?

definitely doing light work at a job where it was fired up in the morning and left idling most of the day. I'm picturing something like pulling plant orders at a nursery or golf course maintenance . we've got a little wheel loader at work with 14k that was used in a similar way at a landscape supply yard.

I've seen Cat loaders with 20,000+ hours and still running and looking good. No repairs other than routine maint and an injector or two.

Diesels can run a really long service life with scheduled maintenance of filters and fluids. Provided you don't treat it like a dozer and bang on it all the time.

I remember looking at an excavator at a landfill, not in good shape, and it some insane number of hours, like 80,000. It smoked like crazy and the operator said it was up for replacement but it still dug and loaded trucks.

Tires are shot and that alone will set you back a couple grand plus it's way too small for what I do. No loader either. That will be another couple grand. I have 6 on one of my M's and 4500 on the other BTW.
