So. I was just sitting here and got to wondering how others found Tractorbynet? I found it via google searching something about hydraulics around 2 years ago. I lurked for quite awhile but registered for this account on 11-19-2010 and by inputting that date into a count up clock that I found on google. Countdown Clocks for Websites

It tells me it has been 1 year and 6 months. Wow 6 more months and it'll be 2 years. It don't seem like that long ago. :confused2: Time sure does fly.

So how about you? How did you come across this great forum?

Like kenmac, I was looking for more info on a tractor. Using the search function, I read every post on this site that mentioned my CUT.

I was researching various makes and models of tractors when this site appear. The same results when I was researching info on implements. I started browsing the threads and posts here on TBN, and I joined because I wanted to be able to ask questions. TBN is a great site and I have gained quite a bit of knowledge. :thumbsup:

Wow, I really do not remember. I know I was wanting to get a tractor, and was clueless about them. It must have been thru web searches. And, at the time, I was interested in Kubota's. This site started as a Kubota site. It was a couple of years before it became TBN in 2000.

That was really different then. The Web was not as evolved. And there were only 50-75 members then.

Amazing how it has grown. And, how it might have taken days to get a reply to a post/question compared to now.

Sure have learned a lot from the time here

I was searching for a cross reference number for an oil filter for my Massey Ferguson and I kept clicking on topics from this site, joined up to be able to ask questions. I still have had no luck finding an oil filter but I love reading about everyone else's tractors and adventures.

This forum is mentioned/suggested all the time on equine forums. That's how I found it, through chronicle of the horse forum.

Back when TBN was Kubota something or other, there were only two websites that had much content about tractors. One was TBN. TBN was better than the other site and easier to use. I think the ease of use is what helped TBN gain membership which of course creates content.

I had to have found the preTBN TBN via a web search.

preTBN TBN was SMALL back then. :laughing: Not like it is today. :D Tis TractorNormous today. :thumbsup::D:D:D

Later,
Dan

When I bought my current "little" tractor, the dealer told me about TBN. They have since closed or moved, not sure. Smitty's equipment in Weatherford,TX
