I use mine at least 2 days a week, most of the time, more. We only have a few acres, but there's always something to do in the yard. Come spring, it will get used even more when it's garden time. Although with the rakes and limb chipper, it's getting used quite a bit now with pine straw and leaves.

I have a Kubota B2650 that is 34 months old with 400 hours. I used it to develop an apple/blueberry farm planting 60 new apple trees and hundreds of blueberry bushes. Took down about 100 apple trees and cut or burned them. Most of my big work is done so I will just plow snow and spread mulch. I guess I will use it less than 100 hours a year now as I mow with a zero turn. The tractor has its own stall in the garage so it can stay out of the weather. One of the overall best purchasees I have made.

I've put just over 600 hours on my tractor since I got it in 2011. Often it just sits - but then I'll have something I need to do. Lately my wife and son are starting to use it as well. - I'm guessing a 100 hr/year. I bought it used with 629 hr, done maintenance, replaced front tires. It has been reliable. This 2003 tractor will outlast me.

Yeah I’m slowing down a bit on use. 100 hrs per year easy the first couple now more like 60 hrs but I have a Z turn for the mowing hours.

5 months in I have 140 hours on the clock. By contrast, that is the same hours as my 12 year old zero turn.

Well - Padoo - lets put some numbers to it. Since 2009 when I bought the Kubota M6040 brand new for $32K - I have purchased an additional $34K worth of implements. Total value of it all - right around $67K.

I put between 50 to 70 hours per year on the tractor. You can do the math.
