I am curious what kind of hours folks put on their tractors yearly.
I put on about 200 hours a year. General FEL work - snow, gravel, grading. Pulling logs out of the woods. Brush-hog.
I would like to come to some kind of a rational/logical correlation between hours and lost value. Mostly, this curiosity stems from hearing of folks who buy a year old tractor with about 100 hours on it and pay 15% less than new price ($15000 new tractor sells for $12,500 = $2500 lost value). Then I see a tractor with 3000 hours that is selling for only a grand less than a similar tractor with only 200 hours!! There has to be some value that can be placed on all those hours.
Just curious as to the hours folks put on their tractors at this point. Steve
