How many hours

[MESSMAKER]

I have a ct225 and use it quite a bit. I have 1050 hours on mine. Just wondering how the rest of you guys are doing.

I have been wondering how many hrs these will last, seen tractors from the 1940s still running so I hope these tractors will follow suit, in the trucking industry 30k hrs are not uncommon.

Mine is still young with only about 170 hours.

I haven't found the time or uses for it to get very many hours on it yet. 4 years and200 hours.

My LS P7010 so far has cost $291 per hour (120 hours) in almost 5 year. My B26 is doing a bit better with 320 hours in 3 years ($64 per hour). Hourly cost don't include fuel, or maintenance.

A new to me as of yesterday CT230 with 141 hrs, now time for fluid and filter change, wife won't be happy, more $

Will mess maker you definitely have us all beat. I guess us bobcat tractor owners are a dying breed with as few posts as this. Have you had any major repairs you have had to do?

My L3240 only has 750. I have some diesel lawn mowers with several thousand.

I would not get too concerned about the hours. 10,000 plus on tractors is not uncommon.
My friend has over 25,000 on his 35 year old Kubota L series. Has been used for commercial and his 10 resident.

My BX only had 1315hrs on it. Just getting broke in.

539 hrs, 5 years CT235. I would hate to be without her.

I am approaching 1000hrs and the tractor was purchased in Jan.2009.

I have a 2009 Bobcat CT235 with 550 hours. Regular maintenance only. Has been a very reliable tractor.

Just broke 200 hours and getting ready for a service. Man this is a nice tractor I love this thing.

My Kioti CK2810 HST with FEL has 430 hrs and its now 25 months old. I've had it from new. No problems that aren't operator related. For example I have just had to replace the chains on the lower PTO arms. It seems I have been over-tightening them.
When it's out of action, for service say, be it only a day I'm lost! I've found that getting to 70 means that 1 kg weighs about 4 Kg so that FEL is invaluable.
I've also got a 2010 JCB 8014 excavator (or mini-pelle as the French call 'em here) which is a nice little machine I bought second hand 2 years ago with 1032 hrs on the clock. It's now got to 1270 hrs so it's seen some work too - again, I find using a pick and shovel good to avoid these days. Just wish I had looked into it a bit more before buying the JCB because a 3 or 4 ton Kubuta would have been better. I find the JCB's track width and length too small when working on slopes or on rough ground. Problem is convincing the Commander-in-Chief I need a new one. She would notice if I slipped a new one in.

Why did you have to change the pan did you damage it or was there a defect somewhere in it? And was it hard to do?

See the thread right under this one. Wasn't very difficult.
