How Many Hours

[RSeymour]

Just curious, what kind of hours are you averaging? I’ve had my TC29D for 30 months now and just sent it in for its 300 hour service. So I seem to be doing about 120 hours per year, all non-commercial. Most of it is summertime mowing with a little landscaping, as we have not had that much snow in the last 3 years.

3 months, only 20 hours. More will build as winter ends and the groung becomes workable and grass starts growning. I still suspect I will only average about 2-3 hours per week or less over the year.

About 50-60 per year. Would be more if I had a loader.

Thirteen months into ownership and about 150 hours. Question is, which attachment do I love the most: finish mower, BH, tiller or FEL? Heck, whichever keeps me in the seat the longest.

I've put about 145 hrs on my JD4700 in about 3 months clearing trees, stumps and brush, building roads, discing fields, removing old wire fencing, etc. I'll be using it daily over the summer as we fence the perimeter with horse wire and some 3-board fencing. We are just about to start the house and shop excavation. My neighbor will do the major work with his dozer and trackhoe. I'll probably move dirt piles and help if needed. This year and next will probably be the heaviest use for the tractor. We'll add a barn in 2003.

65 hours in 6 months on my 855

100 hours 10 months, most in the last three

About 60 hours my first year. Of course, I'm lucky to visit my tractor property one or two weekends a month. Less during the winter.

59 hours in 8 months, looks like the average will be about 85 hours a year. Most all of it weekend work, not as much in the winter especially this one with little snow plowing time.
