As to the gauge, it is geared to the engine
crankshaft and basically counts the number of
revolutions of the engine. If that tractor would
have been run at exactly 1580 rpm all the time,
it would have run exactly 6765 hours.
Ovbiously sometimes you run at full rpm, and
sometimes at idle.

Tractors do a lot of pto work standing still, and
run in different gears. You can't really judge
'miles' on a tractor, you have to judge 'hours'.

The others give a good approximation. A
tractor probably needs a rebuild somewhere
around 5000 hours, a really well cared for
tractor can go 10,000 hours. Just as a car can
go 150,000 miles before it's used up, some
can go 300,000 miles....
