Hi,
I'm trading in my RFM, but since my brush hog has not come in yet, I decided to put the rfm on and mow one more time...probably put the fifth hour of use on the thing...anyway, I saw my neighbor using his rototiller and cut a little of his property where it joins mine...
He came down and we turned off our tractors and talked for a while without getting off, sort of like Bird used to do back when he was in that squad car and the guy from the next county came by... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Neighbor's tractor is an International 454, something like 38 pto hp...bought in 1972...he has 4.5 acres...makes my Kubota b2910 look like a kitten rather than the tiger it is. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Somehow we get on the topic of tractor hours. I have a bit over 200 in my first year. He looks down and says, "In another 80 hours I'll have 1,000 on mine..."
Whoa! Tractor is 31 years old and only has 920 honest,, actual hours on it?
Can you beat that? I can't even imagine it, but it is true... /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
