B7510 & LA302 FEL & B2782 blower, B7510 & B2781 blower, B2410 & B2550 blower
#1 B7510 has about 670 hours - no major issues
#2 B7510 has about 370 hours - no major issues
B2410 just purchased has about 2560 hours - had major repairs done to mid PTO driveline for its associated front-mount snowblower last year, likely about the 2500 hour mark.
While I'm not worried about reliability, I do like to know at what point things are likely to go wrong with these machines. Some designs have inherent weaknesses that manifest as failures within a certain number of operating hours. I come from the aerospace world where we regularly replace components based on operating hours, since those operating hours represent a certain safe proportion of their fatigue or other service-limiting design factor. As a result of my background, knowing what components have failed for other operators within a common operating hour range is very good data to have. I appreciate everybody sharing their results here.

I just bought my first tractor; BX1500D.
At the time of purchase it had 219 hours!
I've since added 5 hours to it before washing, waxing, and taking photos.
The previous owner used it to cut the grass around his aviation hanger and tow his planes in and out. It's been "hangered" it's entire life. lol.

Kubota L5740 HSTC3 and a Kubota ZG222Z, 2013 BX25D,Custom Toyota fork lift.
Just did an oil and filter change on the Bolens HT-23
200 hours on the Hobbs...
OH! I just put that hour meter on the year before last. ;-)
The B7200 Kubota has an hour meter, but it never changes no mater how much I use it.
That is after a new tack drive and cable. What gives? ;-)

I have a 2008 L3540 with 1,600 hours on it. I run it pretty hard.
I was hauling heavy clay and broke a wheel bearing. It was a pretty easy fix.
The front steering seals started leaking at about 1,300 hours. It was also an easy fix.
I had a fuel fitting fall out of the filter housing. That was the only time it let me down.

Bought my 2017 L3901HST brand new with .6 hours on it in August of last year and just did the 400 hour service after just over a year of owning it. I’ve done a ton of groundwork at my property which is where most of the hours have gone.
