Hours on riding mower , tractor , etc..

100 hours on my Scag Liberty Z with FR600V Kawasaki 18 HP. Had since new for three years now. I change the oil once a season. Using straight 40W SN from Tractor Supply now. The manual says 40W can be used in our Florida summertime 95+ degree heat. I changed the hyrdro oil and filters last season, well before the recommended interval, using Castrol 20W-50, and I can tell the difference in how it drives so I will change it every other year from now on.
 
HOURS : 400+(?) : BOLENS 13.5 H.P. manual 38" riding mower . Purchased new 2010 for $700. Always used synthetic . P.P 10w-30 , Shell Rotella 5w-40 , Shell synthetic 5w-30 and blends of those listed as it aged . Still going . Mowed 1+1/2 > 3 acres for 9+ years . Mowing less for past few years .

900 hours on my SCAG Turf Tiger 61" cut with Kohler Command Pro 25 HP engine. Most of those hours were put on by the original owner from whom my wife inherited the machine. We only put about 30 hours/year on it cutting two acres around the house. It is 19 years old, built like a brick outhouse, and runs great.
Definitely commercial quality !!
 
My 2012 Snapper LT24460 lawn tractor has a 24 HP Briggs Intek engine. I do oil changes every 40 hours, and the tractor has 195 hours now. I've been using Miles Lubricants 5w-30 synthetic I bought for $1.85 a quart.
 
Bought this new in 2002. 1120 hrs, no trips to the shop. Got a new Simplicity Broadmoor coming, hoping it'll do well too.Resized_20200903_065202(1).jpegResized_20200903_065216.jpeg
 
783hrs on JD 425 with 60" deck, water cooled Kawasaki V-twin horizontal shaft FD620D, 2000 model year
 
Hrm, I'd have to look at the log, but I know I'm at about 75 hours on my 2015 Cub Cadet XT1 46"(2? Whatever the HD one was). Its had 2-3 oil changes with various Valvoline/Havoline products (Currently Havoline High Mileage 10W30). Valve adjustment checked at 50 hours, it was fairly wide on the specs both intake and exhaust. Tuff Torq hydrostatic drive has had the oil replaced twice. First time was with M1 15W50, the second time with M1 5W50.

This is a Kholer 7000 22hp OHV twin. I don't need that big of a mower for my little 1/2 acre of mowing I do, but I prefer how the V-Twins run and its the first brand new rider I ever bought so I figured I'd get one that was slightly future-proof in case we decide to buy some property with a larger yard.
 
Trusty 1989 Wheel Horse 212-H with a 12 HP Briggs I/C flathead....1860 hrs and still going strong save for some piston/wrist pin slap. Burns no oil and is used every summer to mow a 300x75 field and a 1 acre yard. Bullet proof and built like a tank with it's Eaton 750 rear end and a VERY hefty frame. 100% original save for normal maintenance, spray can job on the hood, a steering gear, and a starter
