A post a few days ago asked how hard you work your tractors and push their limits. That got me to wondering about hour meters and just what that 'hours' reading on your meter really indicates. I'm pretty much in the dark about the whole thing (I admittedly know less than one tenth of a percent what most of you guys know about tractors), but I'm pretty sure it means more than just the number of hours the motor was running.
Case in point: I recently bought a '69 Ford 4000. The hour meter reads 3700 hours (assuming it is correct.) I really can't relate that to anything I'm familiar with. My car has 75,000 miles on it, so I can somewhat use that as a yardstick to make a guess as to how much life the car has left. Is there any way to relate my tractor's hours to automobile miles, or are there so many variable factors in that number that make it almost meaningless?
