DeltaBravo 0 Posted August 24, 2007 Jack's has one that displays RPM when running and hours when off. RPMs by ear and feel, but actual are always a curiosity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roy 0 Posted August 24, 2007 " Jack's has one that displays RPM when running and hours when off. RPMs by ear and feel, but actual are always a curiosity." The trouble with these units is they are sealed with a 7 year battery inside. The one I put on my new Sovereign lasted 7 years and died. A Hobbs hour meter runs off the tractor battery and has an infinite life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
