New holland TC(33)
2 years ago today we closed on our property we now live on full time.

i had found my TC about 3 weeks before our closeing and had aranged payment and pickup the day after we closed. (fri we closed, sat morning we headed to pick up the tractor)

per my tractor log book. dash hr meter read 233, just got done cutting up a dead 10" oak limb that fell down in the last thunderstorm in the front yard and hauling the wood back in the FEL. Looked down and the hr meter read 380

at 253 hrs i did the 300 hr maintenance not knowing what the previous owner did for maintenance.

so in 2 years ive managed 130 hrs use, looking over my log, split 50/50 per year so 65 hrs per year. Ive heard 100hrs a year is considerable seat time for a CUT.

i guess i need to change the engine oil again.

while a little behind on our 5 year plan to be living in a new built-by-us house, we are still mostly on track having gotten the old house burnt down late this spring.

We have started developing the house plan, and the next stage will be dealing with the hole in the ground from the basement of the old house.


When we set off on this journey and decided we would move into a single wide trailer we set on the property, we thought 5 years max. How quickly time flies! (course we only closed on our STL city house this April)

Happy anniversary. Think how the property would look not having your tractor or how much you would have to pay someone to do the things you did. Good luck on all your endeavors..........:)

Schmism, How time flies is true.
I wouldn't worry about keeping your schedule bang on. I know you guys are young still and there will be a million things that come up, so don't worry about it too much. Just don't lose sight of your long term goals though.
Congrats on your anniversary. Today is my wife's birthday.

So Rob, did you do anything special yesterday for Loretta's 39th birthday? :rolleyes: ;)

Hahaha, pretty funny Brian. Thanks for the compliment since we graduated from high school together.
I don't want to trash schmism's thread, but yes, we went out to the best steak house in 3R ... the Gateway Restaurant up near the park.
Thanks for asking.
