Mine was bought for my own house and property but it's quickly become used more to help neighbors...
It's rough sometimes but I've got a new neighbor that wanted some landscaping done or redone. With my help, a bit of pay from them (they said we get free fresh eggs, for life!) I helped save them months of hard, hard work, and the appreciation they have makes it worth a lot to me. Yeah, it's nice getting a bit of income from the backhoe but it's also nice to know I saved someone tons of work, and it's neat when they know how much work it's saved as well.
My biggest complaint about helping neighbors is it usually isn't on my time frame. I'm a big time procrastinator and like to do things when I feel like it. Sometimes folks I help have different time lines than I do, so I've gotten better about mentioning that when help is asked for. I don't mind having a deadline for things but the energy used for those kinds of projects saps it out of me for my own projects.
