Hi Joe,
I didn't know that about my "hour meter". During a trip today back to the
sawmill for another load. I paid more attention to the time at idle/crane
use and driving and this is the result:
Duration of trip: 37 minutes (22 miles). Two stop lights on the way.
Registration on hour meter: 863.0 minus 862.4 = 0.6 = 36 minutes.
Time at 1,400 rpm (crane use): 66 minutes
Registration on hour meter: 863.2 minus 863.9 = 0.7 = 42 minutes
Good point, Joe.
Bjorn
