What that means I have no idea.....

An Tachometer-Based Hour Meter works off the RPM at PTO speed, they are not true hours meter (clock time) although some most new tractor have a electronic hour meter that record true running time.

What that means I have no idea.....

The mechanical / cable driven hour meters are usually calibrated to PTO RPM = 1 hour - some others use 2000 RPM. My Kubota has the mechanical hour meter and will take like 10 minutes to click over a 1/10 (6 min) of an hour running at 1500 RPM.

A link to a thread about this Hour meter operation??

1000 hours on my JD 3038e - bought new in 2012. Never regretted it - never been in the shop for other than routine maintenance.

Am I reading that right, 30k hours? You have to post a picture of that machine. Anything that helped out a family that much should get a memorial!

I have a Deere 644H that has 31000 hrs and change on it.
It had a new engine 1000hr ago

That's hardly run in. It should not have a needed repair at these low hrs.

Looks in great shape considering 31000 miles! I'm sure a new engine is much more practical than a new model. How many years did that take? What are you doing with it!

Ever wonder how many hours per year people put on their tractors?
Ours are used mostly for small chores, snow, & landscaping - we don't do anymore mowing or field work.
The newish Kubota's hour meter averages almost 100 hrs/year since 2008. The old one less than 50/year.
It sure seems like more than that.....

John Deere 5045E bought new in 2021 has 592 hours. Used for maintaining 20 acres, food plots, garden, mowing, firewood harvesting, and baling. A little snow removal as needed.
