Everything with an engine and wheels is kept in an enclosed garage.
When the oil life on the 2004 Malibu computer shows it's time, the oil will look like tar and be a quart and a half low. I change it every 3k. At 4k it will be a half quart low, at 5k it will be a quart and a half low. So my cars and truck get changed at 3k. So much for trusting the computer.
As for tractors and mowers, I watch the color of the oil and when engine begins using oil. Some engines the oil will turn dark and begin using at 60 hrs, others will go 100 hrs.
Things that don't get used a lot, 4 cycle weed wacker, Generators, leaf vac, mowers, pressure washers get a change once a year
One tractor only had 60 hrs on it in 18 months. I recently changed it and and there was condensation in oil and on the oil fill cap. So frequent oil changes won't hurt a thing. May save an engine in the long run. Oil changes is cheap, can't see pushing it.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
