Might sound like a dumb question but here goes. Our old Kubota had the cable type tach and hour meter. At 15 years old it still had only 6000 hours on it. The new Holland we replaced it with has the same as they pretty much all do now the electronic type where forgetting the key on will rack up the hours. In only 6 months we've put 450 hours on it on top of the 750 that was on it when we bought it. I'm guessing at least 1/4 of those were put on while I was taking net off bales filling feed buckets opening and shutting doors. Does it make sense to shut off and restart pretty much every time you get off to do a minute job before using it just to keep the hours down? I think doing that would wear the starter out 10x faster and the ring gear on the fly wheel but with that math if we had it 10 years there'll be 9000 hours added on it and will drastically reduce the value even though 1500-3000 of those or more were simply just idling hours and not working. Any suggestions?

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
