Looking for some peace of mind. Would you guys say it is better to let a tractor sit idle and keep the hours down or let a neighbor use it year round while you're gone and get some fluids run through it. The reason I ask is because I am an absentee land owner and really only use the tractor 25-50 hours a year depending on how much I get up to the place. I use it strictly to maintain a tract of land for hunting.
I don't anticipate ever selling the machine but am curious if I should try to keep the hours low on it. My neighbor likes to use it and pays for anything MX related, the diesel, and stores it to keep an eye on it. In my mind, I want to keep it brand new because I am **** as all get out. However, I figure it is good to not let it sit idle for long periods of time. Any opinions one or the other? What is the average hours put on CUT a year?
Hoping a few of you will just tell me to get over it and be a good neighbor instead of taking it back to my place and storing it!
