Lets see ........ closest neighbor is 4.5 miles away. He has four. One around 175hp and three in the 400 to 450 range. Mine at 64hp is by far the smallest.

There are six families up here in the northern rockies at 5k feet elevation covering around about 600 acres.
Between 5 of us there are 5 tractors, my JD dozer, a neighbor with a Ford back hoe and one with a telehandler.

This sounds like my kind of place. 600 acres:yes:

all lots here are 5,10 or 20 acres. mine is 30 acres. but only about 1/2 of the people have tractors. most have riding mowers and some of those have blades. i am not sure how some people here get by without a tractor. when i moved here in 1996, we purchased the JD870 within the first week of arriving.``````too much heavy lifting

I know this is a day in the life for you, but it's pure comedy for me. A neighbor you can't hit with a golf swing. Love it. And I wish I had a neighbor with a 100+HP machine. Got me thinking, I forgot about one other neighbor in the row who just recently purchased a larger machine than mine else I'd have the largest machine (32hp) and the smallest lot. Tiny in comparison to others!

Cul du sac of six homes

The neighbor up the hill has two, a Kubota BX and a 60hp Kioti
Neighbor across the way has a Kubot B series
The farther neighbor has only a yard tractor to keep down the grass

Then there are my four.....

The sound of tractors working is heard with every snowfall and all summer week ends. I like it well enough.
I'm careful not to start up anything early on a summer Sunday morning. The neighbor up the hill has other ideas. ;-)

None! Not a one that I can think of. I see riding lawn mowers, but that's it. No need for them as most lots here are 1/4 acre.

Now if I go 9 miles away to our remote property out of town, there's probably several dozen tractors over 100HP within a 1 mile radius. Large farms surround that property.

Right now, 6 neighbors (all adjoining properties) have compact tractors of all different brands and ages. The funny thing was none of them had tractors until I bought mine 4 years ago. Then, one by one, they all had to have one..... I bet I still put on 6-7x more hours than they do....

One of the neighbors bought a large 50hp JD cabbed tractor 3 years ago.... I think he just did the 50 hr service. He has a 5 ac lot. Since he bought the tractor, he put up a 40 x80 metal shop and a 30x50 horse barn. Don't forget about the house..... he barely has the room to turn the tractor around....

All the neighbors chuckle when he tries to use it.....

Here's the comedy I've been waiting for. But I'm not making fun (I'm not that much different than this poor fella) Since there's no "one do all tractor" there's always a time when we want something larger, or different.

Around here (country in NW WI), maybe 1 in 4 have an old farm tractor, CUT or skidsteer. The others wish they did.:)

None unless I have my equipment at my house and it usually isn’t.
