Hours/Year

[namesray]

Kubota mx5200, bought march 2015. Has 700+ hours on it now. So about 400 hours or little more per year. I use it for my own property maintenance, but also com firewood and bushhogging. Been a great tractor.

L5240 bought May 2013. 190 hrs on it now 190/3.5 = 55-ish/yr I put most of that in the first two years. I previously had an L3130 that I put a good 200+ hrs on it in 3 yrs, mainly logging work. Now that the major house build work is done, the main tasks are firewood and snow removal. I'm expecting 20-4- hrs/ yr going forward.

I'm trying to remember...

Yanmar YM 1700 Owned 13 years 50 hrs/yr
New Holland 1720 Owned 10 years 60 hrs/yr
Ford 4610 SU Owned 1.5 years 40 hrs/yr
NH Workmaster 50 Owned 5 months 60 hrs

My Yanmar and 1720 was used only for mowing. In 2011 that last 5 years of ownership of the 1720 I purchased an FEL for it thus the extra hours. During those years I used other tractors on the farm to mostly brush hog. Since those tractors are now gone the 50 and SU will take up those additional chores. I expect to average around 100 plus hours per year.

Since 2009 with a BX2660 and now a 2012 B2620, I been averaging 100 hours per year doing a variety of HO jobs but mowing takes up the most.

Happy Thanksgiving for the good years past and more to come.

I wonder in say, the 50s, how many hours did they put on a tractor?

My hour meter moves in relation to engine speed - one hour at 2500 rpm adds 1.0 hours to the meter. Since I rarely run at top speed my hours show lower than the actual operating time.

I've owned the B3030 for about 7 years and have put on about 320 meter hours - mostly mowing or snow removal.

Hard to say, but my brother and a co-worker of mine both have Ford 8N's and they both only have around 2200-2400 hours showing on their meters

60+ year old tractors with 2200 hours? Probably rolled the meter over. :laughing:
