Gosh, this is exciting! I was here before it was TBN

Things were different then; instead of minute, it took hours, maybe even days for an answer!

This place has been great. There are many great contributors. There have been some many great threads. In this one place, you can ask about tractors, talk about your dog, the new attachment you bought, how tough your truck is or isn't, you kid in Scouts, School, the phase of the moon in relation to traction in the field.

It really is an amazing place to play

I was as new to tractors as you could get. City boy moving out to the country and trying to figure out how to take care of the land I purchased. Thanks to this website I was able to get a great little used tractor for a good price. You could basically say that TBN has taught me everything about my tractor.

Keep up the excellent work!

TBN has just been a wealth of information for me since moving back to KS and buying our 20 acres.
What surprises me most about all those involved on TBN is the courtesy, knowledge, and respect that everyone seems to give each other. Much more than a lot of other forums on the net.
The quality and breadth of subjects is unmatched anywhere on the net. I have not posted much as most of the information is already there somewhere.

Thanks again to everyone who contributes.

I joined here in Feb 2001 - bought my tractor that April - although I owned an old 8n prior -- I just never did use it that much so never learned much on it. As everyone else has mentioned this is the place to learn! This place as has saved my butt from making a multitude of stupid mistakes, provided guidance in the correct way to do just about everything I do, given me ideas and cost me money

because of it, made me a lot of friends - let me meet local neighbors that I wouldn't have otherwise met, and provided entertainment every morning with my coffee at my desk at work (shhhh)

.
I wish I could have vocalized as well as Eddie -- I ditto his remarks -- This "place" is a community of friends around the world. Need proof? A bunch of Texans met near Dallas a couple of years ago and were joined by phone from a TBN friend in Australia! BTW we are getting together again this weekend! What I'm trying to get to is -- this has become not just a group of internet friends - but it has run over into the "real" world. It is the most informative, helpful, friendly, social group of folks I have ever encountered and I hope we can keep TBN alive and well for years to come. Thank you to everyone responsible - creators, moderators, admins, and users for making this the site that it is.

Hello all members.
Since joining this site I have learned more about my equipmemt that any other site can provide.
I do not post too much as I do not know as much as the the other members do that have the experience.
When I have anything presented that I can help I wll post a reply ASAP.
Again I thank each and every one of you.

TBN is where you can share what you've learned and learn what others have to share. There's always a few "hot topics" for those of us so inclined to DEBATE an issue, even when we don't have a dog in the fight. Best of all, we now know how Gatorboy feels about gas prices and the price of a gallon of milk.

I found TBN in early 2005 after I bought 10 acres here in Northern CA and was in tractor trade-off mode. Finally pulled the trigger in May05 on a Kubota B7510HST after several weeks of reading TBN posts.

Since then I've become a tractor addict, adding a 1966 MF-135 diesel in July06 to my growing collection of tractors and implements. I've become so dependent on TBN that I use the search feature anytime I start a new project, before going to farm auctions, before making any kind of tractor-related purchase.

I've used the personal mail feature quite a bit and found this to be a great way to make friends and to discuss things of mutual interest outside the regular chat rooms.

I've participated in many other forums but TBN is by far the best investment of time I've found on the Net.
