My B3000HSDC has 270 hours and just normal maintenance.

My Allis Chalmers 5020 has almost 1100 hours and still is running the original tires .

Didn't we have some space mission some time back that had an improper O-ring or two that had a failure?
I believe that was the Challenger Space Shuttle disaster. The O-Ring on the solid rocket fuel failed which resulted in hot gases acting like a blow torch on that very large fuel tank... Boooom!

Sometimes the smallest inconceivable part problem can cause the most pain.

B2710 bought new in 2000, 863 hours on it. Other than my son breaking a
headlight, a neighbor dropping a log on the hood I have had no issues caused
by bad parts or failure of parts.

Now if we want to talk critter issues then I will tell you I want to eradicate all
the mice on my property! Dang things caused wiring issues which luckily were
resolved when I upgraded the dynamo to an alternator.

Yeah, it was either the wrong one, or it was damaged on installation.
It was actually due to the cold temperatures at the time of the launch. The
powers at NASA decided they could not wait any longer and went ahead
with the launch even though the outside temp was outside the specs
defined for the O-rings (i.e. it was too cold they should have waited to
launch).

Got a BX 1850 last October with 289 hrs on it. Its presently at 379 and on. I'm planning on new trans fluid at 500.

Also got an L210 showing 270 hrs. Blew the engine on that one, and I'm replacing it with a used engine. Rest of the tractor is consistent with low hrs. No play in wheels, and drag links almost like new.

Bought a B2320HSD in 2014 and sold in for a good price this spring with 200 hours. Used year round keeping the drive up, mowing, loader work, lifting, and snowblowing. Not a single issue with it. Only thing I had to keep on hand were shear bolts for the blower.

Now have an L3560HSTC I got this spring, and have 45 hours on it. Threw a P2414 code, and dealer called Kubota rep who said it is an EGR failure. Said if it is not full of soot, it is likely going to need replacing (he told them to have one on hand when they check it out because usually they are defective when that code shows up). I can keep running until I take it in, but it will be covered under warranty. They will take care of it in September when I bring it in to have a front snow blower set up on it (last month they had a nice - low hour blower at a price I could not refuse). Other than that issue - which they are taking care of- it has been a great tractor.

Well so far Bulldog is the winner. Having had a B7100 with 6000+ hours on it.
North Idaho Wolfman second and third L3450 4600 hours and B7100 3800 hours.
Let's see who else has some big numbers.

My neighbor has a 4440 JD with about 13k and it still pulls like a train.

I just read a post on FB a guy had a M105S with 9000 hrs.
