Might sound like a dumb question but here goes. Our old Kubota had the cable type tach and hour meter. At 15 years old it still had only 6000 hours on it. The new Holland we replaced it with has the same as they pretty much all do now the electronic type where forgetting the key on will rack up the hours. In only 6 months we've put 450 hours on it on top of the 750 that was on it when we bought it. I'm guessing at least 1/4 of those were put on while I was taking net off bales filling feed buckets opening and shutting doors. Does it make sense to shut off and restart pretty much every time you get off to do a minute job before using it just to keep the hours down? I think doing that would wear the starter out 10x faster and the ring gear on the fly wheel but with that math if we had it 10 years there'll be 9000 hours added on it and will drastically reduce the value even though 1500-3000 of those or more were simply just idling hours and not working. Any suggestions?

The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
