It seems in many ways it is comparing "apples to oranges" since a working tractor (as compared to a collector's tractor) tends to get worked a lot harder than an automotive engine. But, as a predictor of engine life, a modern automobile should easily last 150,000 miles before a rebuild if well taken care of, whereas a tractor engine should last 10,000 hours between rebuilds. That comes to 15 miles per engine hour. Of course, there are exceptions - I have a Chevy diesel Suburban with 400,000 plus miles and never been rebuilt. There are probably some exceptional tractors out there also.
