Tractor Hours/Year

[Complete Turf Care]

It seems I've answered this question before on here, but I can't find it.

I average about 200 hours per year on my 3 main tractors.

 

[old and tired]

I've been constant about 50 hours/year (backed it up with 20 years owning and just shy of 960 hours).

I average about 120 hours per year on the tractor, and 400-500 hours per year on my diesel zero turn.

Just a hair under 50 hours on my T25 this first season and I don’t even live on the property up north yet. I’ll bring it in to the dealer for the first service then do the rest in my own. Always do that with my motorcycles as well.

My JD 4255 that I purchased in '93 has 12,000 hrs showing on speed/hr meter. I used it in my custom hay baling operation.

Oldie but goody...My 2001 M9 has just a tad over 5500 hours on it and the 02 M9 has 4500 on it but I bought it used so I didn't put all the hours on it.

Seems as though with larger units like we have, hours are not a factor in reselling them, not that I would simply because I have no desire to own a T4-5 compliant tractor.

2005 BX2230 with 240 hours total. Probably only 10-15 hours a year to plow snow, move mulch and grade the road as needed. I've got a two car garage that holds one car and one tractor. My car always stays outside

My Ck2610, I'm at 116.0 and getting close to 2 years. My L285 before that, at times was maybe 25 hours/years, but a lot of that was just it wasn't normally worth the trouble to get it running. On the Kioti, it goes in spurts, can be 4-6 hours in a weekend at times, and then 15 minutes in 2 weeks.

From this past weekend, I think i put all of 0.2 hours in it, Saturday, picking up the back of my trailer to pull tire and plug nail hole; and Sunday, to pull a pine tree that fell into another tree when I cut it. Point being, that 0.2 hours was productive. I dont tend to warm it up for 30 minutes, or generally idle it between jobs.

B2650 got new in December of 2016. Have 390 hours on it now, so I'm around the 50 hours a year average.
Moving snow, mowing the field, maintaining the driveway, trails and whatever other use I can think of for it.
