Acronym Usage on the Forum

[LarryR]

Newbie to TractorByNet (TBN). I have many questions to ask but before I can have an intelligent dialog with the forum, I need to be brought up to date with the acronym jargon. I searched the FAQ section but found no information for the meaning of the acronyms used here. I know a few of them (MMM=midmount mower, KB=Kubota, JD=John Deere) but could someone post what the most commonly used acronyms are and their meanings?

Thank you

 

[dodge man]

FEL = front end loader
BH = Back hoe
3PH = three point hitch

I'm sure there are many others but they don't come to mind.

Welcome to TBN... The search feature helps find many answers...

 

[Mattlt]

CUT = Compact Utility Tractor
SCUT = Sub Compact Utility Tractor
PHD = Post Hole Digger. (driller?)

Then, of course, there are some funny ones.

CRS = Can't Remember Stuff (Substitute your favorite word that starts with S)
RTFM = Read The F... Manual.

You get the idea. Years ago, my co-workers and I would have contests to come up with acronyms for things. I've got hundreds of them.

 

[Tig]

BIL = brother inlaw
FIL = father inlaw
Never seen MIL used but it probably has been.
SWMBO = (Swimbo) She Who Must Be Obeyed = Wife
3PH = TPH
DOG = dog (with caps lock on)

LOL Laughing out load I guess
IMO In my opinion

There are some other i don't understand myself yet Cannot remember what they are

 

[Flatheadyoungin]

don't feel badly, there is a learning curve to every website that addresses specific subjects.....

i still have trouble with some

 

[laen64]

Yeah I agree their is a learning curve. I did learn alot just in all the parts of the tractors and equipment. If you have spent anytime in the military you know how the acronym game is played, and just when you learn the rules they all change.
Hooah! HooRah! Sempi Phi! AimHigh! Army of One!

Welcome to TBN Larry

Looks like the basics got covered for you...

Here are a few more that were not mentioned:

QA=Quick Attach
SSQA=Skid Steer Quick Attach
JDQA=John Deere QA
QD's or QC's=Quick Disconnects or Couplers (for disconnecting hydraulic lines)


Then there is the oldies like:

PSI
GPM
LBS
FtLBS
MPH
FPS
IPS

 

[GreenWannabe]

I vote that we discontinue the use of acronyms altogether. In fact, in grad school, I started the American Society for Prevention of Acronyms, called it ASPA for short. Never could figure why I didn't get more takers....

 

[teg]

One that took me a while to figure out was OP...

Mainly used when a thread covers everything under the sun but the OP's question. (original poster's)

 

[6sunset6]

Thats the one I could not remember OP

 

[LarryR]

Thanks guys. That will help me understand what's being spoken about.

 

[JB4310]

Alot of the acronyms can be googled, maybe not the tractor specific ones, but he general ones can be looked up

I had to google that SWMBO one when I first saw it

A funny one I remember from doing an environmental remediation project was "LUST" Leaking Underground Storage Tank.

If i said i used my BH to dig 300' of trench for burried utilities.. would you be thinking 'mower' ?
