I, like many others on this board, have way more tractors than I need and don't farm full time. I currently got 4 running tractors (and 2 that don't) and don't have a single cow on the place. About all the use they see is what little I do while hobby farming. I raise and sell a couple acres of hay and do maple sugaring. I also till a couple gardens in the spring and do some brush hogging in the summer, but, they still don't see all that much use. I usually change the oil every year spring before they get used. I like to change it in the spring because they have all sat the entire winter, and I'm sure condensation has gotten in the oil. My Farmall H had gotten condensation in the gas over setting since October, and when I went to use it this spring, I used it for a day, then when I started it up the next, it didn't run too long before it quit, upon inspection, I found the problem to be the settling bowl for the gas had filled full of water and had froze so no gas could get through, I took it off and emptyied it out, and no more problems, but it was surprising how much condensation had gotten in there, engine oil I'd imagine would be the same way. Yeah oil and filters cost right up there, but it's never been a cheap hobby and a destroyed engine is even more costly!.
