Does someone have an input on Equipment hours?
Still waiting for those 200 for a claas then? ;)
Nope, my JD 8r series just passed 200 hours so it did get exchanged for an Claas Xerion. Playing on Michigna Farming, over 300 hours on it.

What are you doing with that tractor that it is running 2 of every 3 hours you are playing?

depending on how many tractors he owns, its actually not surprising that on a larger map (or any map really) he would rack up a ton of hours on his primary tractor just doing passes in the field(s)

Idling it so I can buy a new one ;)

Well, I farm over 280 hectares so seeding, harvesting, fertilizer, kalk, tillage, transporting makes up alot of hours so I guess thats the reason. I have one +400 hp Tractor (8r) and +250 hp tractor (7r) and a chore tractor, now a JD 7810.

I have a JD T560 that i started with and a recently bought a s790 series combine.

I use season and fast forwads alot so I dont know if that can be part of the explanation. Often leave my PC to do other things and let courseplay do the rest. Do alot of contracts aswell.

You can say I enjoy this game and really like the map Michigan Farming.

I try to keep work time for each field at a maximum of 30 minutes in real-time.
So if it takes too much time to get done with a field I try to plan an upgrade.
