Who has the most hrs .

[landedakioti]

Talking with my grandfather tonight on the phone he asked how the tractor runs and how many hrs on. I told him just hit 100 hrs need to change the oil again. Gramp said still not broken in yet. Not yet i said. A good tractor he said like the two we had on the farm the international had 8,750 hrs and the MF had 6,000 the ford long tractor he said got 600 hrs on it before the engine seized but was replace for free. That got me thinking how many hrs can a kioti make it to?

You talking tractors or people?

Tractors. But funny about people

Simple and most accurate ; as long as it last.

Snork

A buddy of mine has a Ford 7710 that has over 5000 hrs on it. It's been a good tractor, but he's "putting it out to pasture." In the past year, it has been in the shop more than home. (rebuilt engine, rebuilt front axle, A/C leaking down, etc) Last month, he bought a JD 5083E to replace it.
BTW, he has another 7710 that has about 4000 hrs on it. He's going to keep that one.

My oldest tractor, the Ford 2600, is getting close to 2000 hrs. The other two have less than 500.

My Massey 135 has 5100 hours on it and runs like a sewing machine.

 

[MIKE R]

My 1020 has over 4600hours. Never had any engine work done to it other than oil changes and other fluids. 5000 hours on a tractor is like 175000 kms on a truck.

You might want to split the tractors into power categories.

Some of our higher houred tractors, all still running fine & capable of putting in a hard days work:

*Equal to/less than 150hp-
MB Trac1500 150hp Mercedes @ 9,600hrs (pictured)
White 4-150 150hp Cat V8 @ 6000hrs
Fiat 780DT 78hp Fiat @ 6000hrs
Allis Chalmers 7580 6cyl Allis @ 7000hrs
Deutz DX140FWA 130hp Deutz 6cyl @6500hrs

*Greater than 150hp & less than 300hp-
Versatile 835 230hp 6cyl Cummins @ 13,000hrs
JD8440 215hp JD 6cyl @ 8300hrs
JD6030 212hp JD 6cyl @ 5900hrs

*Above 300hp-
Steiger CP1400 400hp Cat @ 29,000hrs
3x Acremasters 330hp V10 Mercedes @ 20,000-36,000hrs

Wow, some serious hour tractors in the last couple posts. I don't think there's a chance the 50 and under hp tractors are going to come close to this. I bought my first tractor, JD 955, with 1800hrs. Kept it one year and sold it with 1900hrs, I just couldn't stand how much time I was putting into fixing it. I'd like to think my DK45 will go 2000+ before the first sign of trouble, but realistically, I'll take 200.

My 2006 DK45 is approaching 800 hrs now with no significant problems. I think one of the problems with CUTs is that they don't get enough use. Often, they have a life like an urban car owned by a little old lady: short-haul trips, with long periods sitting idle. I manage to put about 130 hrs a year on mine, but it doesn't see the long periods of steady-rpm field time that a real farm tractor would...the kind of use that maximizes the life of a diesel.

I don't expect your kubota or Mahindra to do any better, small tractors always have glitches and need some tinker time. I'm also hard on things and probably try to use it like it's a 100hp tractor.

 

[rimshot]

Hav'nt seen too many Kioti hours just yet unless IO missed one. My CK-20 has 997 hours. I have had the tractor for almost four years. It's worked hard digging stumps with a backhoe In addition to many other projects and it gets no time off for the Winter because it has a snowblower.

We've seen plenty of KIOTI's with 2500 to 3500 hours. We do oil changes, oil seals and occasional clutches on them, that's about it.

You take care if the tractor, it'll take care of you.

I was speaking generically. There are many who make excuses for the design problems and limitations in machines. This gives mfg of those machines increasing downward latitude in proportion to the prevalence of excusers. Over even a fairly short term the expectance of fitness for task raises fitness. "Im thankful for whatever it will do" tends to lower fitness.

Well I cant say my Deere has the most, it is at 1095 right now, almost 200 hours logged on it this year. I have operated a few machines with some hours logged though:
Case 1840 skid steer: 7500 hrs, another w/5500 hrs.
My old Yanmar YM169d had at least 2500 hrs on it, probably 3500

 

[DK35vince]

1707 hours on my 2001 DK 35.
Still looking and working like new.

You bet they will Bob, If I were a half days trip closer to you guys you would be doing my1000 hour check up. I have always followed the manual to the tee when it comes to maintenance. I think it helps the owner in many ways to be hands on when it comes to maintenance.

5700 on my Massey Ferguson. 15 on my Kubota. :thumbsup:
