How many hours you put on your compact each year?

Bowhunter · Apr 7, 2004

I put 110 hours on it the first year I had it. If I had a FEL it would be a lot more. Mainly used for mowing and brushhogging for now.

I've had my B7300 for seven years and I have nearly 600 hours on it. 'Bout 85 per year, then...

I put about 200 hr/yr on my tractor, more /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif or less. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
...of course I only get about 50 hours per joystick. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I put 430 hours on my CUT in exactly 2 years to the date.
My dealer claims about 50 hrs/yr is average.
I expect my average to run 200 hrs per yr.

Mine's about 6 months old and I will need to do the 50 hr service in the next week or so. 100 hrs/yr is about right in my case.

Kubota L3430HSTC 286 Hrs in 3 yrs 88 Hrs/year
Kubota F2260 752 Hrs in 8 1/2 yrs 88 Hrs/year
Allis Chalmers 620 1190 Hrs in 32 years 37 Hrs/year Paid $2850 w/60" MMM in 1974. Could easily get $4000 today. Minor repairs over the years (maybe $500 -a few batteries, starter, regulator). Runs great!

I've always believed in "over buying" and keeping for the long run. AC 620, $2850 plus $500 divided by 32 years equals $105 per annum. I hope my Kubotas serve me as well.

458 hours in 35 months would be about 157 hours per year. Mostly mowing 2 acres of lawn, 5 acres of pasture and 2 acres of meadow. Kubota B7500 w/MMM and FEL.

Now that I don't mow with it, it'll probably only be 20 -25 hrs a year, tops. But when I start building my house, that should go up considerably, at least for a while............

Have had the machine for just about a year now and I'm sitting at 269. New property with a fair bit of work to do. Figure there will be up and down years, but 200 doesn't sound out of line.
