If it was an extra tractor, To take the strain in busy periods or maybe a yard tractor, but don’t think i’d buy a front line tractor with 10,000 hours on! But only my opinion
Flip side is that it has made it to 10000 hrs. If it broke down continuously it wouldn't have got to those hrs. Sure there is a JD 6410 or similar at 45000hrs in the west country..........

10000 hours is a lot on an old fashioned clock. It's not a lot on modern digital clock. I believe folk change tractors far to quick ( but I'm glad they do because it gives the rest of us a supply of low hour 2nd stuff. Some people consider 6-7k hours high - that's just run in
In a modern tractor leave the radio on at dinner time n it's clocking time
