The "I'ts Here!" thread type

The \"I\'ts Here!\" thread type

I get a bit of a vicarious thrill everytime I read an "It's here!" thread. It reminds me of the joy I got when my tractor showed up out front.

There are some standard threads that one gets a bit jaded about, things that are asked almost every week in one section or another, but I never tire of seeing "It's here!" on a subject line.

Even though one new CK20, or L7800, or 4310 looks pretty much like the last one of the same model tractor, I always look at the photos and am pleased as punch about it.

I think I heard the term "tractor ****" from Henro first. I don't think that's quite right, because I really do read the text as well as look at the photos.

Keep them coming. Especially the photos. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Gee...I don't remember using the "P" word! /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif But if I did... /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I'm with you Cliff. Don't know what it is...maybe the different background or something...but each time a new tractor arrives at someone's house, it is sort of like seeing a new baby...they are all babies, but unique as well.

It must be that we tie the new tractor to the owner, and even though it may by itself look the same, it isn't the same at all...from the big picture perspective...

I'm gonna have to do a search of the archives for " Henro and ****" now... /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

edit: The only thread that turns up is this one. So my guess it was either Junkman or AndyM that said it... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'm with you. When I look at the photos, I wonder how long it is going to stay stock. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif With all the ingenuity on TBN, it's sure not going to be for long. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif Gerard

Gerald hit the nail right on the head. A tractor may start out stock but it isn't long before tilt meters, tool-boxes, and all the other goodies are added or fabricated to fit. Each tractor owner has a particular need or want and the sharing of ideas here at this site is incredible. Keep all the pictures and ideas coming guys.

So, when are we going to start having tractor showers?
I would go! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I like to read those kind of threads, too. They are even better when photos are attached. It should be clearly stated as the number 1 priority of the TOS when new users sign up, is to post photos of the new arrivals. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Actually, I thought Bob Skurka coined the term "tractor ****"? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Sadly it's been three long years & 450 hours since the joy of my new tractor. It will be paid for in May /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif My ability to aquire implements is severly impaired by 1. my ability to store them and 2. approval from the CFO.

Dad was kind enough to buy a TC40DA in the fall. I'm looking forward to running his grapple attachment this summer. I'll be sure to post pics.

GERALD didn't hit anything on the head, but GERARD did. I've noticed a lot of people misspell Gerard's name and he never mentions it, but I just have to. Read guys! Gerard's been here a while, shouldn't be messing up his name. John

First instance of "tractor ****" was by Boots on 12/26/00
Tractor **** Link

It is of interest seeing how others share the joy of ownership. Yesterday I almost ran off the road, eyeballing an L series Kubota coming down the road. All shiny and new, man that was sweet. But alas, I don't know the owner, and doubt if they visit TBN. Internet challenged we are, it is an infrastructure problem for us.
