Newbie to TractorByNet (TBN). I have many questions to ask but before I can have an intelligent dialog with the forum, I need to be brought up to date with the acronym jargon. I searched the FAQ section but found no information for the meaning of the acronyms used here. I know a few of them (MMM=midmount mower, KB=Kubota, JD=John Deere) but could someone post what the most commonly used acronyms are and their meanings?

Thank you

FEL = front end loader
BH = Back hoe
3PH = three point hitch

I'm sure there are many others but they don't come to mind.

CUT = Compact Utility Tractor
SCUT = Sub Compact Utility Tractor
PHD = Post Hole Digger. (driller?)

Then, of course, there are some funny ones.

CRS = Can't Remember Stuff (Substitute your favorite word that starts with S)
RTFM = Read The F... Manual.

You get the idea. Years ago, my co-workers and I would have contests to come up with acronyms for things. I've got hundreds of them.

Yeah I agree their is a learning curve. I did learn alot just in all the parts of the tractors and equipment. If you have spent anytime in the military you know how the acronym game is played, and just when you learn the rules they all change.
