How many hours on your tractor.

I noticed an L4330 at tractorhouse for sale that has 9,146 hours. I was wondering why they only wanted $9500 for it until I saw the hours.
2016 BX2370 bought new April 2016....63 hrs. Tie rod boots replaced under warranty. New Kubota sticker/sign on hood replaced old one was coming loose. Left rear taillight lens broke at the screw on points first day..Was probably over tighten during assembly. I've lost one of the do-hickeys on the rops that tighten it down. Well satisfied and all problems have been corrected by dealer/ no questions asked. Performed 50 hour service myself.

2014 BX25D...1050 hrs...tons of little issues from a lot of hard work. Little too small for my projects but just right for payments. Engine runs strong. Fought the safety switches...seat and PTO for 500 hours and pulled them out. Two front tilt cylinder rebuilds...shattered the end of the ram...400 and 900 hrs. Bent steering brackets. Two hst fans. Pulled the fuel tank cause someone dropped in a foil seal. Broken pins on the loader arm. Most of the damage was just me using too small of a tractor for big jobs... anything other than a Kubota would be junk by now.
Dug 1800' of 6' trench for power and water through rocks and boulders. Built 2400' of driveway. Dug at least 300 to 400 large stumps...some bigger than the tractor. Clearing my 17 acres...burning slash piles. Cap and fill septic system with 400' of drain line...200 hours right there of just moving buckets of dirt. Building a 40 by 60 barn with a 8 to 9 foot cut into a slope to make a level pad. 1100 feet of 6" corrugated drain pipe to gather water off the slope above the house and move it below, plus gutter water. Skidding logs. And that's probably the short list...

clean the two HST screens on the trany. It is easy to do and will save your HST unit. at 756 hours on my b1550 HST-D, one was clogged causing a grinding noise from the trany. After cleaning the noise stopped and lost power was restored.
My 1990 B1550 HST-D has 765 hours on it. only issues where...
1 a clogged HST oil screen
2 rotted fenders, bucket and wheels
3 loader lift cylinders leaking internally.
Just fixed the rust and cylinders, then did a complete servicing.
I spent 3k on it after 27 years!

MX4800 62 hours had it two months, only issue has been a few loose bolts.
BX2660 280 hours had it 7 years, Only real issue is stuff gets up in the trans cooling fan, and... now that I have the MX, I realize how light it is... Great little tractor though. Just had to replace the battery.

I have 47 hours on MX5800 - had a hydraulic line for 3pt hitch rupture at the 12 hour mark. Dealer responded to my Farm w/in an hour and attempted repair in the field by replacing "O-ring"..but it kept rupturing and after blowing thru 2 more Orings the Dealer trailered back to shop. Next day "fixed" [NO Charge!] and Dealer stated that the O-ring was the problem and that the replacements made in the field were "generic" O-rings and at the shop they used a specific O-ring for my model tractor>>>whatever, there's been No problems since. I thought it was incredible that such a minor variation in an O-ring could make the difference between catastrophic failure and normal operation -- but seems that was the case. When I mentioned to the Dealer that I wanted to make sure the repair "fixed" the problem he said "We do too - we don't want to be coming back and spending a 1/2 day on repairs like this".. I believe he was being honest.
O-rings are oil specific. I am a helicopter mechanic, some o-rings can only tolerate certain oils, or fuels. Wrong one in the wrong spot and it will fail.
Didn't we have some space mission some time back that had an improper O-ring or two that had a failure?
The tachometer on my L260 was at 218.3 hours when the drive seized and sheared off the metal tab on the drive gear under the front cover.
Just finishing up pulling the front cover, replacing the drive tang, cable drive and new cable.
No telling how many actual hours are on this old machine, but to look at it the 218.3 hours was along ago, in a land far, far away, that time forgot.

Like I said earlier, I am approaching 300 hrs. Here is a picture of the first winter I had my L3560HSTC. Since then I traded my old plow truck in for a nice new 2016 F-150 w/o plow. The Kubota does all the work. By the way, the chains on the turf tires are a necessity on my 1000' drive with a steep hill in the winter.

My current tractors are M9000 with about 1300 hrs and my L3000 at about 1800.
My first Kubota was a beat down ugly B7100 we bought used. I treated it like a big tractor and it just wouldn't stop. When I traded it for a new one it had 6000+ hrs and still ran great. That tractor was what made me decide to switch colors from red to orange.
