I brought a JD 8360r that had done 4000hrs in two years , it was looked after and cheap because of the hours . We don’t do very high hours so after four years of ownership it’s done a tad over 6000 which has changed it from a high houred tractor to an average houred tractor and probably worth what we paid for it .
 
A local fencing contractor sold his John Deere 6125r the other day. Was 2016 and had done 10000 hrs. 3300hrs a year sounds alot but it never would have worked hard. Just on a post banger or wire roller. It depends more on what a tractor has done not how much it has done

When I was contracting it was fairly normal for tractors to do 2-3000 hours a year. Doesn't take many years for that to add up.

A bit different but the milk tankers i drove averaged about 4500 engine hours in a ten month season and they stayed around 6 years so it was common to do a shift on something around the 30,000 hour mark.

My Maxxum arrived here from my contractor with 15k hours, averaging 3k hours /yr the last two years with him, now has 21k plus, worth the same as I paid him , which wasn’t a lot!
