Rugged old tractors. How many hours would you guess it has on it?As a young teen, I spent many a hot day on a open station D6 and an International TD-14A open station. My shoulders ache just thinking about a 12 hour day pulling mechanical steering clutches with about 2 feet of travel in them.
That one really is not high houred, we have narrow time windows to get farming done here locally and run more tractors than operators (specific tractors for specific duties) so its total hours are only about 10,000. Many cats in eastern Washington and Oregon summer fallow country went 20,000-30,000+ hours and some of those are still going.
