Gosh this thread is dragging on. The point is simply not to take anything found on the internet as Gospel. There is quite a bit of information that is out of date, simply wrong, or clouded by bias. It only takes 1-2 vocal people to make it seem like the sky is falling. This is not just the case with TBN, but with just about anything you find on the internet. These kind of resources certianly should be a substantial factor in any kind of research that your doing , but they are not a substitute for first hand information and experience.
One major bottom line issues that is comming out here is an old topic that some people still ignore. One of the most important factors is local first line support from an experienced reputable dealer. When you buy a tractor your not just buying a New Holland or a Kubota, but your also buying into the support system from the dealership. Thus, the reason why all internet policies exist... but thats a different topic.
