Who has the highest houred tractor..?

[D7E]

With all the questions on tractor hours i thought it would be interesting to see who has the highest houred tractor on TBN...(Construction included)..No guesses etc..just clock hours...!

Highest i have at the moment is a 1979 Ford TW20 with 10'092hrs

 

[NH-Rob]

Cat 914g wheel loader 28,000hrs

guess I was wrong on hours. Thought it was 29k but it was not. I knew it ticked over a few weeks ago but guess it was 28k. picture shows it with 27710hrs and I checked today and it has 28,050 pic was taken in sept. Will add new pic when I download from phone.

JD770....2,579 hours.

I'm bringing up the rear.

1981 INTERNATIONAL 786 26000 hours, hour meter quit working in 2000.

This tractor has NEVER been maintained correctly!!!
Abused to the fullest. My neighbor purchased it new and said he will drive it into the ground, laughed at the proper maint. schedule.
Looks like his philosophy worked for him.

I had 67,776 hours on my bx, then kubota replaced the panel and was back to zero ;-).
Now I'm at 124 (display died at 100)

How old was that BX?

Ok,according to my math - assuming the BX has been running for 12 hours a day, 365 days a year, the BX would be about 16 years old ? Does this make sense ? What do you do for a living with the BX ?

 

[Leejohn]

I think the ? should be, total hrs and age of tractor.

I think he was fibbing and the quote of 100 is the real hours....

radioman,
Thats what I came up with. That poor man didn't have time to change his oil or put fuel in it.

 

[Giterdone]

1984 Ford 1900 = 1393hrs

Maybe he meant 67.776 hours?
I know the kubota engines are good but I don't think these small diesels would ever last 67k hours.

Frostyford made a post back a few months ago that his hour meter went south on his BX and then displayed 67,776 hrs. Last he had looked, his true hours at the time was just over 100 hrs.

As for me - 2008 BX24 = 256 hrs and counting.

when I bought my Yanmar used a few months ago the seller said he knows it has high hours on it but it still runs good, I looked at him like Hmmm! 585 hours is a lot?
Now that it has 594 hours it must be about worn out, but actually the person who helped me with the New Hydraulic pump said it had average hours for the year model, and that keeping it service I should get another 1000hours from it before major ork need done, heck i thought i could get many thousand hours from a tractor before any major breakdowns or engine falure, and from the looks of some of your hours Mine has not even got broken in good yet

i used to work on a cat 988b loader that had over 100k hours on it. it was a quarry machine, and religiously maintained, but worked hard......

at the same location i also worked on a cummins stationary engine that drove a large flywheel for the jaw crusher. it was not that old,but already had 60k hours on it. it had a special tachometer that counted how many total times the engine had made one revolution (spin counter)

if you ever read machinery trader magazine, once in a while something will come up w/100k hours on it. those old terex haul trucks seem to get there once in a while.

Ah- that explains it. I had the opposite problem, but not as dramatic. Mine has a mechanical Hobbs type meter. I bought it with 403 hrs. When I hit 500, the hundreds dial did not roll over. Then when I got to 600 it rolled to 500.
