I took delivery of my first tractor (B7510) in 2007 which now has 1053 hours. In December of 2011 I added a B3200 to the mix. In August of last year I traded the B3200 for an L3901. The B3200 had 1200 hours on it. The L3901 now has 422 hours on the meter. Your machines live a charmed life.
After reading this thread I am surprised at the low amount of hours some people are putting on their tractors.I have had my L45 for exactly one year and it has 57 hours.I was thinking of selling it because of my limited needs for it but now I feel better about keeping it.It is there when I need it which I do from time to time.
I think most of us that work for a living are in the same range. 100 hours a year is 2 hours a weekend average and with all the things that go on in life, that's a good bit. My 2010 JD has 460 hours.
Almost 250 hours on my L3200 that I've had for almost 3 years. No chance I'd sell it & rent an optimized machine as needed. Bring able to dig/mow/plow/blow or what not at will is just to handy & important.
It's a tool for what is turning into our hobby farm, not a real work machine.
