[QUOTE="chh, post: 646471, member: 7659"] On a utility style farm tractor, I'd really look it over if it was much over 3000 hrs. A small CUT anything much over 1500 hrs. If you looking at some of the older field tractors 6000 to 7000 hrs wouldn't be too bad. My Father bought a new little IH 454 that was trashed out at 2000 hrs, I bought a JD 4020 with 5000 hrs in it, sold it at 10,000 and it is still going strong. I replaced the 4020 with a JD 2640 that ended up needing more in repairs than what I gave for it. it had about 3500 hrs on it when I bought it and about 3700 when I traded it 10 months later. Honest field hours aren't all that bad if a machine is maintained, but hard use/abuse can kill one in a hurry. [/QUOTE]
