This is without a doubt the best source for all things manly. Very informative and a whole world of knowledgable staff to help me through any kind of trouble. Don't know what I did without it.
Thanks TBN,

TBN has been a family to me. When I started out reading posts I was just an observer who enjoyed the many topics. Then I found the tractor that would become my passion. Reading posts by others convinced me that this tractor was perfect for me needs. This continued until I made my purchase and was able to be a productive member of TBN and the forum of my brand tractor. Today I search many forums within TBN to get knowledge or ask the many talented prople on TBN for answers to my questions. Yes, TBN is my first source for knowledge.
Thank You TBN.

I have a very similar story to what most have already posted.

I grew up around tractors, knew to respect them and always think about what you are doing, be safe, etc.... My Grandfather and I own a '39 Ford 9N , and a '53 Farmall M . After years of "getting by" we decided last fall to start looking at a New Tractor with loader to make things easier for him and I, seeing as how I only get to the Property every other weekend and was constantly repairing things before being able to use a tractor.

So I started researching Tractors and stumbled onto TBN. After reading a number of Posts and recommendation from members we narrowed the Search , and then started pricing. Then made Purchase this past June.

Then I asked for recommendations on Tire Sealent to prevent Flats. PineRidge made a suggestion, gave me a company to contact, and Offered to send the Application Pump needed to pump the sealent. In todays world a person very seldom offers to ship a $100.00 pump to a "Stranger". That is just one of the many things that I could go on and on about, showing the GOOD no GREAT group of people that belong to this Web Site.

Thank You TBN, and thanks to all the GREAT posters.

I found the TBN when my new Cub Cadet wouldn't start, the information I recvd. from other members had me up and cutting in a jiffy. I would like to thank Fordlords for continuing checking on my post till I got it going.

TBN is just the icing on the cake for the new world of tractorin' I have found late in life.

Short story long . . . bought and currenly have a CC7194 to help with landscaping my new home, and to make a little gas money on the side to run it. After a couple of hours moving dirt, digging holes and leveling grade, I realized that old farmer out standing in his field, or driving that old tractor, knew a little something that I have been missing for the past 49 yr, 10 mo & 20 days.

This is the long part . . . I am in a very high stressed aerospace career and I used to use travel and outdoor adreneline sports to help me get away from it. With a new wife and another new home, and a peak effort period in my one of my programs serious time away from the office was out of the question . . . timing seems to always be of some question with me for some reason. Climbing into the seat of that little Cub and watching the dirt take the form that I want it to sure does turn off the stress pump for a while . . . 110 deg F and sun don't seem to make a difference. Sure, I get off the thing pretty wasted sometimes, but man does it feel good. Now I can't wait to get out of the office and get that tractor fired up. Best theropy I have ever found . . . well, maybe second best, but **** good anyway you cut it and until they make a bench seat for two, it will just have to stay No. 2.

Finding TBN has just made tractorin' that much better. Now when I get a minute during the day, I can light up the WWW (that ain't no wrestlin' site) and find out how important it is to wear a seat belt, view some pretty unbelievable countryside other tractors are running around in, get a lot of, and I mean a lot of opions on almost everything from where to buy parts to what to do with Timber's DaisyDukes when he dismounts his JD. TBN is a real get away even when I can't get away, sort of a mental tractor break without the sweet smell of diesel fumes.

My congratulations to the TBN staff for 1M posts and hope this is just 0.1% of the 1st 1B posts.

When I first joined TBN, the members welcomed my presence warmly. They helped me learn and understand the world of small tractors.

Through the membership's input and Muhammad's direct influence, I was able to find a great Kubota dealership and a wonerful machine (a B2400).

Over the past several years I have noticed that the TBN community is the most friendly place to be. The comments and stories have always been thoughtful and interesting. Rarely have folks gotten a warm under the collar. But if so, things cooled and everyone would "smile and shake hands". Nobody flames and everyone tries to be helpful.

The only better place to be is in the tractor seat.

TBN helped me find what has turned out to be the perfect machine for my needs. Since purchasing, it has continued to provide excellent advice on all things tractor and rural. I frequent a handful of tractor forums, and this is by far the most civil discussion I have encountered on the internet, on any topic. Congratulations TBN on 1,000,000, may the next million be as successful and informative.

You can't imagine how much I have enjoyed this website!

I will be acquiring a tractor in the not too distant future and the postings have been most helpful and oftentimes quite enertaining.

Thanks! and may y'all have many more years of success.

AS a country boy you have enlightened me on tractor issues that I have often wondered about, thought I knew, and verified what I had been taught, about tractors and all that goes with them. I must say that ever since I happened to come across tractorbynet.com,while doing research on compact tractors it has been a very positive influence on what was needed to help make a really good choice on not only the tractor and impliments, but advise on some of the personally done task and jobs. The reminder also that no matter how safe you are there is always a tragic or unhappy ending to otherwise a good tractor story does still occur. Thanks to all who share with us all!

As with everybody else... I've really enjoyed TBN since I found it over 2 years ago. I've learned a lot about safety from the great members here and from reading posts of others mistakes... and that is priceless. I really enjoy following projects like EddieWalker's dozer rebuild and when members chronicle a house being built. It's also a great source for nearly anything... not just tractors. There are a lot of knowledgable, kind people on TBN that are willing to share. There are few forums on the internet that even compare with TBN. Last but not least... a big thanks to Muhammad and all the others who keep this site running like a fine tuned Kubota!!!
