Got my B2400 mid July 2015 with 1950 hrs on it, has 2440 on it now. Picked up a new B3350 with 2 hrs on it back in Nov '16, that bad boys up to 345 hours now. Both used commercially for snow removal and landscaping/dirtworks.
Got my BX last March with less than an hour on it (I think anyway, it was new). I'm now just under 70hrs.
Used mostly for mowing, brush hogging, and carting supplies around.

Oops mine has 382 hrs in it not 318. So make that 7.64hrs per month average.
Put about an hour on her yesterday hauling a few loads of dirt down to my sisters.

Got my B2601 last April. Just turned over 194 hrs today. Had a BX2670 for 2 years and had about 156 on it. Use this Base series much more. Mowing, loader work, firewood, snow plowing 1300 ft driveway, when we have actual winter. Tilling for garden.

I asked about an yearly oil change in another thread. I changed it last April. So this April I'll have 60 hrs in one year. But our 2016 summer was hot and dry, my 22 ft well was down to 7 feet of water. The lowest I ever remember. So I only bush hogged like three times.

Been playing with compact tractors since 1988.
I've consistently logged 100 hours/year +/- 10%
Holding true with the new 'Bota. Just turned over 190 hours blowing snow a couple of days ago, it'll be 2 years in April.

MY L3901 just turned over 302 hours after this last big snow storm. looks like I may end up averaging around 200 hours a year.

A 40 year old tractor with just 96 hours on it? WOW! That's less than 2 1/2 hours per year average. I am not sure but that tractor has to be one of the oldest on this site and having just those number of hours on it I wonder if it is still running and if so, how well does it run. What is the back story on that tractor, why so few hours on it?
I agree that 96 hours over 40 years is amazing. I think it may have a 3 digit hour meter, so it could be 1,096 or... No matter, maintenance and storage conditions are huge factors in machine condition. That tractor has paint that shines and it looks to have been sheltered well. Mine has 1133 hours on the 4 digit clock, 1996 by the SN, so ~50 hours a year. I have added 100 in 2 years so I think it makes sense.
Bought my L3901 in October of 2015 and have only 41 hours on it . Will be getting ready for the 50 hr maintenance work this summer. Mostly push snow and gravel. I also use it for hauling animal waste to my compost pile. Have recently been moving landsacaping boulders. The tractor is a work horse!
Grandfather bought new for his property in PA. Just used it to push some snow and haul the splitter and trailer around. Property was only about 2 acres. Always stored in a heated garage. Property was mainly a summer property so really only plowed 1x a yr and worked like 1 or 2 weekends getting some wood. Again sumer property so not much need for a fire.
She runs great, starts right up. Engine looks like it just rolled off showroom floor. Paint is perfect on the engine too! Paint on body is a solid 9.
Just checked serial number B7001-46001 so shes a 78, not a 77. Not quite 40 yet. Not sure i will keep her under 100hrs be4 her 40th.
