I moved to my little turf airport last spring. A few months after I moved in, I had 12yds of 3/4" chat delivered, and spread it with my 8N on our main road. The other roads off the main are just tracked dirt, and I keep the one to my hangar graded moderately well.
We pay dues into a fund for maint for the runway, aprons, taxiways, etc. I'm happy to contribute my share.
Spring is back, and things are growing. On Sunday while I was down doing some hangar work, another owner came by after I shut down and chatted for a bit. Helped me move some boxes, and tools, and then sprung the 'can I borrow your tractor'. I can't lie, I was rather put out about this. Not just this one time, but about two weeks ago, I got a text asking if one of them could use the 860 with FEL to move some dirt, and scrape a section. I said no to that one.
Asked him what needed to be done, and he wanted his 3/4Ac brush hogged, I told him I'd do it after I had a break. While I was on the tractor, I happened to drive around the airport for a bit, and counted NINE tractors, most of them vintage and not one of them worked. I saw a Ford 770A, a couple small IH kind, a Farmall narrow front, two looked like AC, an old grader(not technically a tractor), and two I couldn't ID but one I think was a Long. Several had FEL on them, and almost all except the grader had a PTO shaft and 3 point.
Two of them had brush hogs attached already! It's like when something goes wrong with it, they just park it in the field and let it sit. Zero maint. Anyway - after I cleared up his lot, I told him to let the others know I would be happy to spend time working on tractors - if they provided parts and get at least a few back running. He had nothing to say. I locked my tractor in the hangar, and went home. Pretty disgusted with the people right now.
