Let's hear yours.

Was going to wait till 200hr but damage has reared it's ugly head.
Did hydraulic and motor oil at 100hr. Did not do fuel filters.

And in all reality I only have a leaking curl cylinder, user error bent fork frame, and clogged small fuel filter. The big one by the engine looked fine and probably could have gone another 100hrs at least.

Definitely impressed with nearly no significant damage being heavily used in 8 months.
Your mileage may vary.

I actually bent my fork frame this past weekend. Kicking myself for it now. I was able to bend it back mostly but you can still tell its bent. I had the forks together in the middle and was using it to pry up some landscaping shrubs and bushes. hooked into one that had a bigger root than I thought. I was curling up and driving forward a little at a time. It popped the "stump" with the roots but then i realized the frame was bent. Disappointed in myself for not realizing this and beating on it more than I should have.

267 hours, no damage! OK Ok... a butt of damage. I accidentally put a burn mark in my orange throttle lever with a cigar.

One year, 150 hours, no damage, seat is still working as designed, all implements working as advertised, and major projects are nearing completion.

294 hours & all that has been broke is a taillight & that was in the first 5 or 10. Learned to move them to the inside. Nothing since then. All good.

Ohhh. yup, busted one of those too, and now that I think of it, bent the rear PTO shield backing in to the shed, when the door behind the shoulder I wasn't looking over closed before I started backing... No problems with the tractor that haven't caused though...
