Is this machine 2.5k hours or 12.5k hours?

Scam?
If you think the hours are correct the person sitting on the seat must have been plucking the seat all the time. Clock stoped or something else.

The seat and tyres don’t indicate 2500hrs.
Those tractors don’t generally clock up big hours though. Plenty go through Brightwells. They’re not as cheap as they look

Not the tidiest but I’d guess low hours.
Continental tyres of that type not the best wearing, and they are of the era. So far as I remember they left the agri market around 2004/5 before returning a few years ago.

Don’t think a scam. Dealer checks out

I did think it’s possible that there a original set due to the cracking

Take a look at the clutch and brake pedals. They usually show the true wear.
May be not but I don't believe the hours.

Agreed. We have a 6420 on 5900hrs and the original seat is still perfect (upholstery wise anyway!)

I do.
They go through auctions all the time with next to no hours. Ex environment agency so not noted for actually doing any work.
How many hours winching do you think it’s done in its life? It’s not been used for anything else
The seat will have taken a hammering from people climbing on and off all the time. Certainly not been trundling up and down a field all day long

The seat would indicate 12,500
Be struggling to run the tyres off as much by 2500
I have a tractor with those contentals on 5000 hours 30% left on them spent half it’s life on the road

On the John Deere hour meter, if the dot or point which separates hours from part hours is flashing on and off, then the tractor has been around the clock. If not it will stay on all the time.

If it wasn’t used for anything else how did the tyres get so worn

Where was it winching and how did it get there?

If it's genuinely ex council it'll hardly have ever been anywhere other than on roads possibly
If it’s genuinely ex council the only thing worn out will be the seat.
oh hang on………
