Compact Tractor Operating Hours

[Jim in LA]

I am in the market for a compact tractor to be used for mowing and pushing snow. This will be to replace my Oliver 550 and I want to stay in the same relative size. One of the contenders is CNH Boomer 55 tractor, I like the size and the PTO horsepower rating. The question I have is, since I am looking at used tractors, how many operating hours before the engine or transmissions are worrisome? Not just for the CNH but for any of the similar tractors.

Have you looked on Kubota’s website? I traded my 2008 3005(790) 2WD John Deere a few weeks ago for a new L3302. This is the first loader tractor I have owned. They have financing up tom84 months. Their specials I think run through June.

Hours are nice to know , but I don’t ever depend on that in making a decision. Got to work to do in deciding whether or not this is the tractor for your needs . I also remember the local dealer going over the hours saying it just number on a gauge, need to recognize that.
