Allen: On 3,000 per year I said forestry equipment. Rod has already told you how it's done. My friend started out with nothing, at 48 years of age he retired with a net worth of $6,000,000. He ran them 30,000 hours each in ten years then shipped off to the parts man.

I ran my 1066, 10,000 hours in 8 years, a good bit of that was done on custom work. I had two young lads working for me that would leave home on Sun. night and run non stop until Fri night. It was summer work only pulling a root windrower doing clean up after bulldozers on land clearing. soon as the crop was in, silo full of alfalfa, they'd hit the road until the next cutting of alfalfa, and soon as that was done they were gone again. They averaged about 120 hours per week on the meter, and filled the silos much the same.

These guys travelled with camper behind pickup, fuel and supplies on pickup, tractor and rake and they quite regularly got 100 miles from home. I have seen them 150 miles from home but not often.
