Who has high-hour machines?

My 7? Ford 3000 hasn't has a working hour meter for at least 20 years. After years of haying and farm work, it's in the "many" thousands range. I don't even try to remember the various repairs over the years.

We had an IH like that, the hour meter died at 6000+ hours and was used another 15 years past that before sold to new owner.

That's impressive. Looking more for Kubota CUTs though...

i doubt if youll find meny high hour CUTs of any brand,because people dont seem to put alot of hours on them.i had the kub machanic tell me most people that on CUTs take 2 or 3yrs to put the 50hr service on them.an even longer to the full 400hr service mark.

I have just under 1000 hours on my grand L5030. A/C needed work. Otherwise, nothing has broken that I didn't cause by operator error. Started immediately recently in 12 degree weather. Kept in open shed. Am very pleased with its reliability and ability.

I have 2056hrs on my 1995 B20. I have put on 1156 since getting 8 years ago. Major issues addressed have been:

- put a small and hole in radiator, fixed that myself
- just replaced starter solenoid (by local garage recently)
- replaced muffler that caught a couple tree branches (by local garage)

Needs fixing:

- seat needs to be replaced
- rear light cap broke off

Basically only oil, filter, hydraulic fluid changes above that. It's been an awesome little machine and has helped build my last two homes and garages. You name it, it has done it including pulling people out of ditches in winter time and their jaws just drop open on the torque of the little beast.

I just have to stop lusting after the L45...:drool:

My new to me L2850 had about 1200 hours when I got it. Heck, I had a Johnson 140 hp two stroke that I put over 12000 hours on while crabbing. I would expect this diesel to outlast my kids....
