We have one with ??? Hrs. Meter quit at 3500 years ago. I'm guessing 9-10k hrs now. Never had trouble with brake or power shift. Did injectors and pump this spring and it's like a new tractor again. Starting to see a little smoke but uses very little oil - 1qt in 200hrs
Ours has had the Case loader since new. I think it is really fast and way overbuilt considering the size of the teactor itself. Will out lift and faster cycle than neighbors 7710 + JD loader. We've raced while loading gravel from the pit and moving bales. We put around 35psi in front tires and abuse the hell out of it and it's held up to it for 20yrs.
I like those tractors. MX series are better but I would buy another one with 2900hrs in a heartbeat.
