One thing you guys fail to consider is that actual tractor engine hours rack up faster the higher the engine rpm. One of my tractors says "Hours at 1850rpm" on the tachometer. PTO rpms are 1900. I typicaly run my tractor in the field at or above pto speed. So if I run my tractor at WOT 2600rpms(say chopping corn) and I put in a 10 hour day on the tractor that would equal about 13-14 engine hours on the hour meter. I think this senerio exists on many of our older tractors. Also a tractor that has 30k hours on it may only have 24-25k "saddle hours".
