Deere-est Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 The hours only register above a certain rpm I think Bob. The 390T I used as a teenager (and long to own ) used to anyway so I assume it is the same across the board? Can't remember what rpm it was but for a loader tractor like the one I used, which spent most of it's time on yard work it did men the hours were very innaccurate. That said, an agri college probably wouldn't put a hge amount of hours on a tractor anyway and going by the interior condition (which is harder to make look new than he outside) I'd say she was a very nice tractor indeed and I wouldn't mind it myself!!

Lord Ferguson Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 It's usually at PTO speed I think Tris... or 1500rpm.. but they do still register slowly at lower revs, the same as they do faster at higher revs.. my tractor seems to anyway. As for that 375... you lucky fella... she's a real peach... did you get the loader as well then will it be going on her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 That's a very smart looking 300 series tractor you've purchased there Robert. As others have mentioned I do rather like the styling of these tractors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
