My CK20S has 1100 hrs and is going strong. I had 2 incidents since buying new. First was a pesky fuel solenoid that just needed re-seating and second was a bolt sheared off inside the bell housing (loosened off from factory) which required splitting the tractor. Has been a great machine. Good oil and regular maintenance are key! Would buy again.

Kinda like a tangerine that isn't quite ripe?I saw one listed for sale in TX today (a DK45 w/FEL as I recall) on national for sale listing website that had well over 3,600 hours. Looked kind of "Texas pale" like a fairly new Kubota...

2800 on the clock and endless trouble.
Had Lk3054 1995 version - sold it in 2019 with 1989 hours. Two clutches later after 20 years ownership. Tie rod ends and two sets of front tires. Used tractor with 5 foot Lely disc mower- unit was quite robust. I wanted a cab tractor and LS xr3135 fit the budget with backhoe. Kioti was priced closely to Kubota in 2019 for 35 HP. No disappointments with LS tractor the turbo has changed my perspective it makes tractor seem like 50 hp. No disappointments with Kioti either. All manufacturers have less than desirable models. TBN help me vet buying correct tractor. Learned from others and very grateful for their experiences.

like any machine, as long as you can get parts for it, then its off to the tractor wreckers to support the models left you cant get parts for any more, then its garden art.

I'm sure with normal usage & maintenance - well beyond your life. No matter how old you are now.
My first tractor - Ford 1700 - had 1900+ hours when I traded it in. It's still going strong. I know the second owner. The Ford was brand new in '82.

Everyone worries about how long the diesel will last, I'll bet you my farm that it's NOT the diesel you have to worry about.
Getting to 6K hrs., you will more than likely have many other problems.

A diesel engine with upkeep of factory service intervals will go 10k + hours easy. Or way past the average home owners usage spec to worry about.
