500 hrs a year, this is second hand territory, to make a tractor pay it needs 1500 hrs a year. Why have a shiny new tractor there unless it pays.
If it does not do the hours buy older and go through it in the down season.
The only thing I would like to have new on a regular basis are things like the discbine that I need to run and can be a real pain to get all the bugs out.
