Hour Gauge on a tractor

[suandy]

How can you tell if the hour gauge is new? This is from a 2013 tractor. How do I know if it hasn't been replaced ?

so the person just took a picture of it. They have a tractor advertised with low hours. It was just a picture taken from a laptop?

Ah thought you owned it , no way to tell if it’s new or not unless you get a dealers laptop on it and check. Sure fire way is look at the state of the rest of the tractor if it looks shabby then it’s likely got more hours

Run hours are also stored in the engine ECU and or BCU in many cases- as well as the dash,. Get the factory scan tool on it.

11 yr old tractor with 114 hrs on it?
Would need to be totally as new inside, tyres should be as new though maybe dozing if it has had sunlight. Hitch, link arms virtually unused, seat, pedals unmarked,
At that number hrs should be very easy to know if its genuine or been around the clock and anyone changing a dash or being misleading would be very stupid going so low hours.
Some would say doing so little isn't a good thing as it could have 11yr old engine oil in it.
