Hugh, Unlike you we have other bigger tractors to spread the work around instead of working one tractor to death. Plus we went to no-till so the hours go up slower.
We have a 4166, 1066, 966, 856,and a 6260 Deutz-allis,
Back in the 1970's we put 600 to 700 hours a year on the 1066. We pulled a twenty foot Cook plowing disc with notched blades. You should try that sometime in hard clay. It pulled so hard that if you dont have duals on the tractor it would go sideways. It's a very heavy disc. The tractor didn't use ten gallons an hour back then either.
My dad laughed when he heard ten gallons an hour. Even our 4166 doesn't use more than seven gallons an hour.
You are the only person I have heard of that complains about getting 10,000 hours out of an engine. Even John Deere only expects 7,000 hours out of their new engines. I have a cousin that works in engineering for John Deere and that's what he says.
The new tractors are actual hours. A dealer told me to add thirty percent to the hours on the older tractors with mechanical hour meters because they are off by that much on average. So you're 1066 could have had as much as 13,000 hours on it when the engine went.
