What was your first TBN post, ever?

[Jstpssng]

I believe that this was my first... posted 6 days after I joined in 2005.

I just got my loader back from the machine shop

I had to have it welded after the cross piece broke out. Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the 2 arms be parallel? The shop said they'd fix it if it's wrong, but felt that it wasOK, even though the pin bushings are at obvious angles to each other. I hate to haul it 45 miles and try to...

I've always said that there was no such thing as a stupid question. After reading the above, I now have amended that viewpoint.

And what was the outcome...?

I had to take it back. Of course the loader arms have to be parallel, or the darned thing wouldn't work! I broke them again about 8 years later, but by then the tractor was getting tired and I eventually replaced it.

This one I saw a PowerTrac PT422 in operation could be a lot closer to the truth... although it would mean you went about 6 weeks after joining to make your first post.

And all of this time I thought that you received your first Power Trac at your christening.

It was a hello thread in the new members area, eleven years ago.

I think some of the early posts were lost, because I was talking to others before I decided on a PT.

Could be. The one I dug up was 6 weeks after the ‘join date’ indicated on your profile.

My first posts / replies seem to be missing. I joined in Feb 2005 yet the earliest of my posts I could find was 2 months later in April. I know I replied / posted right after joining but can't remember. I suffer from CRS.
I do remember my early posts had to do with the tractor I had bought the month I joined.

That seems to be normal. My first post above was a couple of weeks after I joined.

I think this is mine from Sept 26, 2000

The issue of "gross" verses "net" hp has surfaced. This is a new one to me. First, let's be clear that we are NOT talking about PTO HP, which is a measure of how much HP is available at the PTO after the rest of the tractor has siphoned off what powered it comsumes.

This started with the observation that, although one might expect the B2910 to have 29HP, is has 30HP. But the fine print says "gross HP", which in itself isn't too odd until you look at the literature for the L3010, 3410, 3710, and 4310. In the book they quote both Gross and Net HP (along with PTO HP). The Net HP corresponds to the tractor model number i.e. 30HP for the L3010, on up to 43HP for the L4310. The gross HP for each machine hovers around 10% higher than the net.

So what the heck is the difference between gross and net HP?

I'm too lazy to look, and it was under a different name tied to netscape email account, but i'm guessing it was about 'what tractor to buy' kind of post, and somebody (Moss) suggested a golf cart looking tractor that my wife eventually talked me into buying.
