How long does a tractor engine last? 3 Factors 1- what it is, some are built better and have engines that will last longer than some of their competition, we could mention names but that would upset some folks 2- how it is cared for, someone who doesn't regularly check oil or change it at the appropriate intervals will diminish the service life of the engine, also included are if they are using the correct oil as far as service rating and viscosity, are they keeping the radiator clean and keeping it full of coolant?

I don't think his cousin, also a neighbor of ours ever had a tractor make 3,000 hours without needing major repairs.
