at least in a tractor that size IMO. We've got a 4440 we've had since new that went 17,000 on a mechanical tach before every being touched. 4450 that we've had since it was a little less than a year old is at 14,000 but is needing an overhaul. Basically what it amounts to is whoever had it before was trying to do the work of a 200hp tractor with a 120hp bumble bee. Having a tractor split 3 times in 3 years is not a good turn.
