Can we put an official STOP to the constant nagging about location, location, locati

[jaxs]

After 8,000 posts on T-B-N I find it baffling how few new members specify their location.

I find it difficult, sometimes impossible, to post solid information without knowing where the OP will operate the tractor.

Here are a few reasons for wanting OP location.

ALTIITUDE - Tractors lose 3% of engine power output for every 1,000' altitude increase, over 1,500' Sometimes twenty posts will be made advising on tractor horsepower, then we find OP is a 6,500 feet altitude and is considering a low power, naturally aspirated tractor.

WEATHER - ESPECIALLY SNOW - Blowing snow and mowing are the two tasks that require considerable engine power. If we know an OP is in Buffalo, NY rather than Key West, FL snow needs are apparent.

WEATHER - Large swathes of the country have a continental climate, four seasons, with great temperature variations between winters and summers.
Areas near the coast have varying maritime climates.

PRICING - Tractor and implement pricing and dealer service pricing varies a great deal. Lowest prices are usually in the south. Prices along the west coast and in the northeast are usually highest.

Some states exempt agriculture and forestry equipment from state sales taxes. Florida is one example of liberal ag sales tax exemptions.

IMPLEMENTS - Availability of implements brands are regional, not national. ie: CountyLine, Rural King, etc.

SOIL AND GROWING SEASON - Whether game food plots or market crops, soil and length of growing season(s) in important. Soil type influences tire selection.

USED TRACTORS - When the OP posts a location, OP is often referred to good used tractors nearby or provided local tractor listings from Craig's List, eBay, TractorHouse, Machinery Peter or other sites.

Everyone on T-B-N has a screen name, as anonymous as they like. Any other profile information is contributed voluntarily, such as age and tractor brand/model. Relative to the massive data heists reported so often, with names, address, Social Security and credit card numbers stolen, this site is nearly anonymous.

Everyone is free to feel and think as they please as long as they refrain from demanding others share the same feelings and beliefs. Regardless how important you or I feel it is for members to post their location,we are not allowed to change the guideline stated below nor mis-repersent the guidline to those that are not aware of it.

Location is optional. Asking for somebody's location in the context of answering a thread is allowed. We don't censor posts based on quality of the reply, only if the content is offensive or breaks one of the few rules we have.

Love that song, where are they from?

Chicago - formed in 1961, heyday in the 70's.
They are old farts now.

How dare you ask, it's offensive and causes discord..

It's not that you're asking where people are located in a nice and friendly manner. You're downright rude about it sometimes. I've mentioned it to you in the past. Have some manners. Say please. Or say, it would be helpful if you posted your location because "XXXXX" and give a good reason. That's all people are asking. Be polite about it.
