I agree on the replies 12 hours is nothing, BUT I GOTTA ASK if you brought in a tractor with 12 hours would they trade it in as new or used? I would bet they would discount your trade. Just sayin
Is it used

My tractor had 3h on it at delivery, but I put on at least half an hour test driving it. It was a 2019 layover anyway when I bought it in July 2020. All good, and it has been a good tractor with 0 problems at 82 hours.

Put a bunch more hours on it and you'll forget all about it!

I wouldn't worry about it at all.
12 hours is nothing.
If you didn't notice it when you bought it and signed the papers, then the tractor was "new enough" for you then, right?
It's not like it was rolled down a hill and set on fire on the way to be delivered, right?

12 hours on a new tractor would irritate me for about 5 minutes, and then I would move on and deal with the next thing on today’s job list.
My MX6000 had 3/10 of an hour on it when I purchased it recently.
12 hours on a "new" tractor means that it was used extensively as a demo and had all sorts of "Bubbas" doing stupid **** to it. I'd demand a substantial discount or other compensation for their "used" new tractor.

Even a new car comes with a few miles on it. PDI Pre Delivery Inspection etc. Just read the manual, do first oil change on time and don't worry about it.

They probably burned up 12 hours easy, just loading and off loading, moving it from one side of the yard to the other, also they probably started it a few times to show its features to other customers at the dealership.
out of a 10,000hr lifespan its 0.1%, its new.

Well, if it had had any problems in those twelve hours, at least they'd have had to fix it. Unless it showed duress, Id maybe call and see what they'd volunteer to do for you, maybe a free fifty hour service, but otherwise a tractor is a robust piece of equipment and it should be fine. I like the question about what they would do on a trade in with 12 hours though.
