It depends on the model of the tractor and the usage/care it has been given.
My 1993 JD 6400 has 16,000 hours on it. The engine only has had the head redone as it blew a head casket. The bottom end is still all original.
I have a 1980 JD 4440 that I bought with under 300 hours on it. It has right at 12,000 hours now and the basic engine has never been touched. The injection pump and injectors have been rebuilt but that is it.
I have a 1996 JD 325 lawn tractor that I bought new and it broke the balancer guide out of the back of the block with only 350 hours on it. It is a single cylinder Kawasaki motor. I have seen other mowers with this same exact motor running well with 2500-3000 hours on them. So sometimes it is crap shot.
On true farm tractors any hours under 2000 is low houred to me. Most tractors of any brand will go 4000-5000 hours with little needed other than routine maintenance.
The smaller compact tractors would be a little lower in hours of use. Like 3000 hours would be the cut off for me.
On lawn equipment usually 1000 hours is about the top end of what I will buy to keep.
