I know it was re-aired not too long ago, but since I've received a couple of private requests recently, maybe it's time to share it once more. Since it's a little dated, maybe I should mention that one of the main figures in this greeting represents a fella who was well known in TBN land, both...

I browse in 24-hour mode and then click on messages of interest. Flat mode is my default. The attached screen shot shows what I sometimes get. Everything but the messages. If I were a bettin' man, I'd say there was an off-by-one calculation problem in determining which posts should show...

My wife doesn't always consult me on matters that I think she should, but this time it worked out okay. Whenever it's time to order new bank checks, we pretty much never agree on which free background to order. Try to imagine Tim The Tool Man Taylor "discussing" the choices with Jill, and...

<font color=red>The following was originally posted by <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.tractorbynet.com/cgi-bin/compact/showprofile.pl?Cat=&User=glennmac&Number=193779&Board=buykubota&what=showthreaded&page=&view=&sb=&o=&vc=1>glennmac</A> and is reformatted here at Glenn's request:</font...

My fire break project is causing my brush pile to grow quite rapidly, and I'd love to start reducing it somehow. Burns are no longer allowed this year 'cuz of the extreme fire danger -- ironically the very reason for my project. I don't have a chipper nor the budget to get one, so I was...

\'Nuther Stupid Rock Might be more appropriate to name this thread "Stupid Harv", but I prefer to blame the inanimate objects. Some of you may recall some of my previous encounters with the stupid rocks lurking in the dark recesses of my property, like the one I dubbed and the infamous star...

When all else fails, ask the TBN brain trust. Need a new car for the wife, which of course means a good kid hauler among other things, so it ain't gonna be no sub-compact. We've been shopping for a couple of weeks and we keep running into the same problem, namely, the driver's seats are not...

Hookin\' Up That Rotary Cutter I haven't used my rotary cutter as much as I'd like to, mostly 'cuz I'm always pressed for time up at the property, and hooking up the PTO shaft has always been a trying experience. On Father's Day, however, I thought it through a little bit and figured out a way...

Ever have one of those "one hour" projects that eats up your whole weekend? My 9-year old daughter is very big on tetherball at school, so I figured this was my chance to be a hero and whip up a tetherball court of her very own up at the property. Heck, we have 42 acres -- I figure we could...

Okay, so I'm a little short on good tractorin' stories since I've only been on my 'Bota once in the last couple of months. But since this happened right in my suburban front yard this morning, I thought I'd toss it in just for the heck of it. The telephone pole in my front yard was tagged for...

I chose the Projects forum 'cuz it says, "For the dicussion of all the things you do with your tractor!" Just saw this story pop up in the local news here, and figured it was somehow appropriate to share with this board: Man Arrested For Alleged Backhoe Rampage 02.08.02 BYRON (BCN) -- The...

On another thread, Greg H. explained how he uses his box blade in reverse to achieve some high quality grading effects. I have used my own box blade this way only a few times, usually just to push a small pile of spoils out of the way or something. Greg's point about going backwards is that...

Not exactly a crisis, but I notice that if I edit one of my messages that includes some of the new smiley faces /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif, some get turned into the longhand text version of the image tags with a dubious url. This message, for example, looked fine (all smiley faces intact)...

Seems kinda late in the game for me to be asking this question, but it's mostly intellectual curiosity at this point. In the <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.tractorbynet.com/cgi-bin/compact/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=buyjd&Number=99527&page=&view=&sb=&o=&vc=1>Trencher Attachment</A> thread...
