B7610 Hour Meter

[behrend]

I noticed on my 7610 that it takes 1.5h of run time to log 1.0 hour on the hour meter. It has taken me almost 2 years to actually notice this. Has anyone else seen this?

Hello and welcome to the board.

If you search on this it has been discussed before. The reason for this is that the hour meter counts time based on actual RPM vs. rated RPM. Therefore, if your tractor's rated speed is 2,600 rpm and you run it at 1,300 rpm then it would take 2 actual hours to have 1 hour on your hour meter. Likewise, if you run it over rated RPM then time on the meter will accumulate faster that real time.

Steve - Sorry if this has been a redundant post as I am a new member. That makes sense because I was averaging about 2000rpm (75% rated RPM) and it was counting at about 75% of the actual time. Thanks again. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
