Tractor hours vs. OTR engine miles driven

Posted by Ron on July 31, 2004 at 05:00:50 from (69.179.21.81):

I was just trying to figure out how to equate engine hours to miles driven. My tractor's PTO speed is 2,200 engine rpm; at 2,200 rpm my truck, for example, is going 65 mph. So 1,000 hours in the truck is 65,000 miles... 10,000 hours in the tractor would then equate to 650,000 miles, that is, the same number of engine revolutions that would produce 650,000 miles in the truck would also occur in the tractor at 10,000 hours.

I know I'm comparing apples to oranges here but does anyone have a better formula for this or a different way to try to equate the two?
