Thanks guys, your explanation jives with my experience. And I agree that when used for maintenance intervals (or wear as in a purchase decision) the lower rpm time is understated which is the opposite as to what you would want. I guess one could hook up a conventional hour meter (which is fairly inexpensive) to monitor key time which would be best for the lower rpm work. I guess I should accelerate some of the overdue maintenance considering the "time" is calibrated assuming you run rated rpm mainly which I do less than 1/2 of the time.

Moving rocks around (depending on the size of the rocks of course) is a challenge to any compact tractor. My property has lots of large rocks and I occassionaly push a few into the loader and move them but serious large rock work is for a full size back hoe, not the size that will go on the tractors we are discussing. (A rock weighs about 50% more than a same size hunk of concrete.) At least thats been my experience after two years of developing this property.
