As soon as I saw the Cat hour meter I knew it was something big. I saw an EX 1100 Hitachi hoe at an auction that was not even 4 years old and had just over 9,000 hours. Skidders rack up a lot of hours as well. A farm with one tractor for everything can put a lot of hours on it. However I don't think any engine other than a low speed generator type application would go anywhere near 30,000 hours without any major engine work. At best maybe 18 to 20,000 but it would be pretty weak by then. There was an older Cat engine that is used on oil rigs that was getting rebuilt for $100,000 after giving 50,000 hours of service. I think they said it ran at 1200 or even 800 RPM's. A work tractor revs at approx. twice that and is often abused as well. If you go too long before an overhaul, it can cause unknown damage and be a lot more to repair. Dave
