I used to be pretty consistant. 250 hrs per year on the Ford 7710 86 hp with C/H/A and loader since I fed with it in the winter and liked th a/c in the summer. Mowing tractor Ford 7610 got right at 100 hrs per year, and the raking tractor Ford 7600 between 50 and 60 hrs per year. My dad's 3 tractors get about the same at his place. I've got 300 acres, he's got 175 but most of the custom work is on his.
Added a skid loader a few years ago and what I found was that it gets about 100 hrs per year on the farm but the hours on the cab tractor dropped to about 100 per year. Skid loader took over most of the loader work. The net effect was it took 50 hours less to do the same amount of work. Just amazed me how much time you save not having to stop to shift gears doing loader work. Skid loader also uses a LOT less fuel per hour than the cab tractor. I do get a few hundred hours per year with it off the farm for loader and backhoe work, runs around 300 or so. Its an early 90's 1845C Case.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
