25-30,000 hours is a believable number now adays.Quite possible on some of the larger farms(10-20,000 acres) in the states,more so on the larger farms in South America.In Brazil and Argentina it is very common to run a 3-4 200+ HP MFWD tractors 23 hours a day,7 days a week,for 5-6 months straight chisel plowing and discing. Then put the same tractor on the planter for 4-5 weeks on the same schedule.Stop long enough to fuel up,grease,change operators.Shut it down for service every 10 days.Real easy to rack up 4500-5000 hrs a year.
