[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 606615, member: 2862"] My back certainly feels most of those hours. :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: I had help putting those hours on. :lol2: Dad used to use the 18,000 hr 4020 JD as his primary field tractor. With an 18 foot tandem disc and a 24 foot cultivator, it didn`t take long to put 18,000 hrs on it. That tractor is now my dozer tractor, and with the amount of snow we`ve been getting, I think I`m putting 700 hrs a year just pushing this white crap around :lol2: The Case 930 came here used, but it was my primary loader tractor and haying tractor for alot of years, so most of those hours are mine. My left leg is about twice the size of my right due to using that 930 for so many years. :lol2: As for the 2 7500 hr babes, I haven`t put a whole pile of those hours on. Maybe a couple thousand on each. I do have a dream of someday owning a tractor with .5 hours on it. :lol2: Anyway, back to the thread: On the topic of battery blankets, also make sure you have some AMPS in those batteries. I use 850 CCA batteries as a bare minimum, and much prefer 1000 CCA batteries. When buying batteries, make sure you`re looking at COLD cranking amps (CCA), not just cranking amps.
