While this method is a little more difficult with tractor engines than a truck or car it makes sense. That is once it is running and you are sure everything is ok take it out on the road and accelerate fairly hard up to about 60 mph then just back off and let it run down to about 10 or 15 mph, do this 10 or 15 times and it will be OK to use normally, but with varing load and speed for a few more hours. The loading while accelerating wears things in and the backing off sucks a little oil up to lube and cool off the hot or high spots in the cylinders and rings. I think the main thing is to vary the speed and not to lug or over load a new (rebuilt) engine. I like to change the oil after the first 1/2 or 1 hour of running, inclucing the filter. All the metal from the rough honeing of the cylinder walls will be rubbed off and be in the oil.
