Seat time

reddogge · Nov 4, 2014

Since my 9N is my primary mowing machine for lawn and fields I figure I have 1,600 hours seat time just in mowing over 25 years. Add a couple hundred plowing snow and I guess I have 1,800 hours seat time on the '41 9N.

Anyone else have any estimates on theirs?

I kind of feel bad - I probably only put five hours on my 8N other than winter. As long as it can claw its way through, it is my go-to for snow removal. I like how little it is. I only get out bigger tractors if the snow is big enough that it is always dragging on the belly. I probably put 50 hours a winter on it. Other than that I am using crop tractors.

I put maybe 40-60 hours a year on mine raking hay, moving hay racks, plowing snow, grading gravel, etc. Actually, I put more on it the first few years, as I was using it to cut hay in addition to rake, and I typically raked twice (sickle bar hay needed more time to dry). So that's maybe 350-450 hours since I rebuilt the tractor in 2008. Add another 200-300 on the 8N I borrowed while mine was apart.

This accounted for about 25 hours by itself, tho! :lol:

Most of my seat time is on the 1206 Farmall

14' hydro swing hay bine, round baler, tillage and snow removal all fall tot that tractor.

The 2 8N's get about 100 hours a year between them.
