When big brands stopped working directly with us and started using automatic buying systems to find their target audiences all across the web, we became subject to the rules of the entrie process. Not to say that big tractor brands would be okay with their ads being beside firearm content but...

Mentions of actual firearms will continue to be put into a moderation queue as we are only going to allow those topics in the front porch forum and the good morning thread in rural living. If a thread about a shooting range comes up, it will need to be in the front porch as that forum has no ads...

Didn't forget about you guys, but wanted to do it right. We have a new home page launching soon which has taken up most of my time all month. Planning on end of next week for the shirts and jackets.

"Brand safe" for advertisers is a completely different standard that extremism or unlawful activity. The mere mention of a firearm in a thread about a dirt pile makes the entire thread "unsafe" and when ads are served in those threads, our site becomes "unsafe" and enough of that results in lost...

Rest in Peace @5030 Many times he would send me messages and check up on my family. Seemed like a nice guy, and added a lot of funny posts to TBN over the past 22 years.

That's incredible. If you ever decide to sell, please consider a collector who will preserve it and value the heritage of the machine and the documents you've preserved. It's a piece of American farming history.

7 days and 7 posts. We're working on an alternative.

We could source a usa made shirt at a much higher price point. I'll check

FYI just so everybody gets to participate and we are providing what the members want, we are going to come up with a few more t-shirt ideas this week and let everybody vote on which one we will produce. Been a few days delay with the weekend and holiday but it's on the list to get done this week.

Happy Veteran's Day (weekend) to all of the TBN Veteran's! Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸

Yes it will be a Carhartt, hooded, lined: https://www.carhartt.com/product/104050

We will order after the contest and anybody who doesn't win can order one also.

Okay so after the threads are added to the list above is when the posts must be made.

Just click on every thread you can find. 🤣

Oops, I'll fix that tonight

Wait I'm sorry, I was typing from my phone and left out the most important word. It will NOT count if posted before the start of the contest. The idea is to engage with the thread from the start of the contest.

Updated with all designated threads! Entries close Halloween night and winners will be drawn over the weekend!

Starting now through Halloween night (October 31), we’re celebrating our TractorByNet members (and Halloween) with a fun "Click or Treat" Giveaway! 🎃 We’re giving away our new official TBN “Ask Me About My Tractor” T-Shirts and a couple of premium flannel-lined hooded “duck” TBN...

Somebody just failed the TBN loyalty test. :ROFLMAO:

Did you guys buy them or were they giveaways? My memory is foggy since it's been so long. Was the hat too big or small @old and tired

Trust me, I'm 100% against us having to add word filters and approval queues for posts. After a certain event last month, there was a huge uptick in online discussions about topics related to guns and that has led every major advertising network to crack down on displaying ads next to the...

We did embroidered TBN Carhartt jackets wayyyyy back in the day. For giveaways we can do small run items. If we try to sell those they get really expensive since we're not making thousands at a time. So we wind up having to charge way more than retail. The hats we have in storage are cotton...

That's a great idea... were you thinking ERTL?

Small prizes like TBN hats and mugs, yes. Also larger prize probably 500-1000. Like one of those or maybe 500, 250, 150, then some TBN stuff. There's also a possibility of changing the size of the gift based on the number of people that participate since more traffic = more funds for giveaways.

Very soon we'll be doing a fun no purchase necessary TBN giveaway. Not sure what to give away though.... This poll will be about whether we should give one big prize or multiple smaller prizes. Actual suggestions can be posted as replies. Ready set go!

Adding tractor to a post does nothing. After an event in September, there's been a big issue with user posted content with the g word all over the internet and the brands are responding by saying they don't want their ads next to those comments. Trust me if I had it my way, we would not have...

Update: Found a way to keep the thread in rural living and also remove all the ads. Please let my manager know how I'm doing. 🤪

Done. That was never a part of the reason. If numbers aren't updated today they will be tonight. Trying to avoid that because there is an entrie todays gun time thread.

It doesn't work that way. There's no list of advertisers that we accept or reject. It's networks that will scan every post for content and eventually we won't have any revenue if they all ban us. Then there will be no site. Sorry but these are decisions coming down from huge corporations, not...

No just need to click a different forum if you are looking for this thread and it isn't in todays posts or your notification list.

They all pretty much have the same policies. We've already been banned from one for being rebellious. 🤪

Had to move this thread to the front porch due to it getting flagged by our advertising networks for "inappropriate content" including firearms. So rather than try to censor words site-wide, we are moving any threads that get flagged, to the front porch. I absolutely hate that advertisers will...

We tried a separate site but it didn't really work out. Might try again with a different format some day.

We cover almost everything here, maybe better sites for vintage or ag tractors though.

It will be an option and if your phone is in dark mode the site will recognize that and go into dark mode.

Yes, many times. But in retrospect we should have probably just kept it the same from 1998. 😆

It's in the plans for the next forum upgrade though.

Not yet

Yeah come back in 10, 20, or 30 years and we should be gradually much further along.

Yeah we didn't get anything for the electric panel upgrade we did. Would have been nice.

No, but I think the federal rebate passed through on one of the cars that we leased. Didn't get any state or local rebates on anything.

Would you be okay with taxes on the gas powered tools that funded subsidies on the battery tools? Meaning if price was the same would you mind using battery or is that added weight a deal breaker?

Without me asking or asking for more money, my landscaper has mostly switched over to battery electric lawn care equipment. Our city does not mandate it yet but the writing is on the wall. At my parents' house where I do the yard work, I use three battery tools (mower, trimmer, blower). One...

This was the source: https://www.autonews.com/volkswagen/audi/an-trump-tariffs-audi-holds-inventory-0403/

@5030 One of the biggest questions is how the value of those parts will be determined for the purpose of tariffs. I guess if there's an invoiced cost of an item it's easy but if an engine is manufactured by a mfg in Japan and then shipped to the US where the tractor is assembled, how will they...

Yes. Discussing how the administration arrived at their tariff numbers is absolutely a political discussion and this particular thread is not the place for it. We have one thread dedicated to politics so that all other threads can remain free from the endless debate that is associated with politics.

At this point we should compile a list of tractors that are assembled in the U.S. as the tariff impact will be much lower. JD and Kubota specifically assemble many models in the U.S.

Please take this to the politics thread.

Please keep this discussion on topic of tariffs related to tractors. You guys know where the politics thread is.

At the end of the day, discretionary spending happens from income or debt. Since debt is expensive (high interest) and income isn't rising as fast as these tariff numbers, the indicators point toward sales declining when consumers just don't have the money to spend. With prices of tractors...

What difference does it make? There are 180k replies in one thread. The posts that get reactions in that thread wind up filling the list of post reactions meaning we can't find otherwise good posts, that are getting lost behind posts that are not related to tractors.
