Bird selling his tractor? That's the saddest thing I've ever heard. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif /w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif

When I first started getting interested in tractors, I found the CTB and a guy named Bird Senter seemed to answer questions there very sensibly. Then one day he mentioned TBN. Took me a while to find it, but since I did, I haven't gotten one bit of work done in the last two years, I'm surprised I'm still employed. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif For the longest time I thought TBN meant Tractors? Bird kNows! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif Kind of like in It's A Wonderful Life, the ad that says "Ask Dad, He Knows".

Best of luck to you Bird!

Bird,

Both during my "ghosting days" and from the fairly recent "posting days" I have enjoyed your contributions to the forum. I really hope that you'll continue to participate on TBN. It's strange in a way, but when I read that you were selling your tractor, I felt a little sad. Thank you for all you have done to develop TBN as an informative, healthy place to gather information about tractors and equipment. Don't go away!

I feel like I ought to fly my flag at half mast! I too am one of those that consider you to be a friend, even though we have never met. You've given me advice concerning travel trailers, utility trailers, workshops, work benches, air tools, planting gardens, grading my driveway, and tractors too!! (and I'm sure I missed a few other things...). I sincerely hope you don't become a stranger to TBN! Take care and God Bless Mr Senter!!

Bird, to echo what everyone else has been saying "THANK YOU"!!!! Your words of wisdom and common sense have been a major role in a lot of people's decisions to buy compact tractors. Thanks again for your immense contributions to TBN and please keep us all informed of your doings. Good luck.

As others have said, your advice and comments have been greatly appreciated over the years.

Bird · Mar 22, 2002

few if any comments are about the tractor. They are about the man

Yep, no one wants to buy my old tractor./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

But gosh, fellers, ya'll done made my old head so big that Muhammad ain't gonna have a cap big enough for me./w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Well here's another one, Bird! You've given me a lot of great advice over my past year on TBN. In earlier posts, you said you'd stay with us. I sure hope you will. TBN, or life in general won't be the same without you! I don't know how many times we've run into things on our farm, where my wife says, "Post it on TBN, and find out what Bird thinks!", if my wife thinks that highly of you, you can imagine how I feel!

Good luck, and please, please please, stay in touch with us!!!

Bird,I will echo the sentiments of everyone else here.You have been around this forum as long as anyone,and I have enjoyed your imput as much as anybody.We both bought our B-2710's about the same time,so I felt like we always had something in common.I sold ours last year so we could get into an L-Series.You never know,you might find another great piece of land and have to find another Kubota one day.

The very best of luck to you and yours.....Mike

Bird, I just now realized it was you selling your tractor. Hope all turns out well for you, I'm sure it will. As you know, there are all sorts on this board, those yet to get their first tractor, those of us enjoying our first, those with several under their belts, those owning multiples and those who have "retired" from tractor ownership. I suspect you will continue to contribute your vast knowledge even in tractor retirement /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Bird, you can take the man off the tractor but you can't take the tractor out of the man. I know we will still hear from you.

/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif Oh my gaw! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

Say it ain't so! That is about the most shocking thing I've heard in a long time. Bird you are so much a part of this forum, that this could be a watershed event. I certainly hope this doesn't mean that we won't be hearing from you, and I also hope everything is alright with you and yours.

I know that the one thing that is constant is change. Nothing is forever, but I'm wishing all the best.

Charliebrn · Mar 23, 2002

Just like Rob, I just now realized it was you selling your tractor and your place. Geeminy Christmas....what a shock. If htere was any justice at all, We'd all pool together and buy your tractor and put it into TBN's museum labelled "Bird's". I think it sorta says how a lot of people feel.

Please stick around will ya??? We need someone to keep our thinkin straight....

jimmoore · Mar 23, 2002

Bird, best wishes in your future plans. God bless!

Bird,
Your contributions will continue to be appreciated. True quality people are few and far between and by the out pouring of posts you are one of those quality people, best of luck in whatever you choose to do, and most importantly don't be a stranger to TBN.

Whatever you do next I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed reading your posts. Good Luck!

Any time you want to get some tractor time you are more than welcome to come by my place and use mine.

Best Wishes for you and your family.

About two years ago, I started reading most all of the posts on TBN because I had decided I 'needed' a compact tractor. I had looked at the Orange Dealer, the Green Dealer and the Blue Dealer, but I felt that I did not know enough about tractors to make a good decision. So I found TBN and started reading. Your posts always seemed to be unbiased about tractor color and so very knowledgable about all the different questions about compact tractors. Last October, I bought my first tractor and thanks to you I feel that I made a knowledgable decision. Even though I have never met you, I feel like I know you and look up to you as a person - one who provides good sound information without trying to steer people in any direction. You seem to only want them to have the information to make their own decision.

God bless you wherever like takes you.

And PLEASE don't be a stranger to TBN.

...ya'll done made my old head so big that Muhammad ain't gonna have a cap big enough for me.

Bird, I think fitting your head is no problem. It's your heart that's as big as Texas. I'm not that far away from you, so if you need help with anything, I'd consider it a honor to be able to help. I've never shook your hand nor looked you in the eye, but I think I never met a finer fellow. Please let us return the many favors and be of help if we can. Gosh, I'd be happy to contribute to a fund to buy your tractor and put it in the TBN Hall of Fame./w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif/w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Bird,

I know how you feel. I have not visited the forum for a while, other than to say that I was selling the B7500, but I too have changed directions and sold my property. A different feeling, but I know that I can always do something in the future. Good luck to you in selling your machine, and property. I'm sure you will be pleasantly suprised in the speed in which both will sell. OUr property was advertised for 2 weeks and sold to people who were trying to buy it 2 years ago. Thanks for all of the insight. I haven't posted much, but have enjoyed your contributions .
