1,000,000th Post Appreciation Thread

TBN is the best source of info for a tractor owner. The folks who frequent this site are kind, courteous, obedient, etc. (yeah, Boy Scouts ). Seriously, it is the folks that make the difference.

This last spring, I had never owned a tractor or used one. Now I own a New Holland TN70A and use it with confidence and safety. Never would have happened without TBN.

I moved here here from CTB after Bird kept mentioning TBN it on that other board and a good move it was. Last time I visited CTB werent they charging a fee or something?

Anyways have learned a lot and helps pass the time. I think the largest improvement made here was the photos section.

The best part of the forum is the government, keeping posts clean and focused and if you think that is censorship go somewhere else

Good work forum masters

The sales person at my Kubota dealer told me about this site 3 years ago. I soon became a registered member and have been coming here at least once a day and a many as 4 times per day. What a great site to learn and share ideas. There is so much knowledge that it can just boggle one's mind. Thank you TBN for being here.

Tractorbynet.com has been not only fun but educational. I am hooked and read almost everyday. I miss only when I am traveling. I love TBN.

I found the site accidentally researching Yanmar tractors, and I'm so glad I did! I think I have learned more reading this site everyday than I would have from years of tractor ownership. Everyone is so helpful and polite that I don't feel "dumb" asking a question. I also try to give back whenever I can. Even though it's online, it feels like a family. Every day I learn new things and laugh at the stories. I have only met one other member but hope to meet others over the years. I wasn't sure a woman would be welcome on the forum, but it has been great. Keep up the good work. I bet I'm still here when we hit 2,000,000 posts.

TBN has been a terrific influence for me in many ways. The vast knowledge resource that one can mine on this site is unmatched anywhere and is growing and evolving every day. I know it has made me more aware and safety minded. I'd also like to think that the sharing of ideas and experiences has helped me become just a little more thoughtful. At times I think of how certain members would handle situations, benefiting from their maturity and insight. The staff at TBN have plenty to be proud of, the greatest tractor site on the net and so much more.
Thanks to all!

TBN is the definitive "go-to" website for compact tractor and related information. Whether shopping for a new tractor, fixing an old tractor, or learning how to use your tractor and implements you will find it on TBN.

Keep up the good work!

That says it all! When I was looking to buy a tractor I came here and have been here since! I check everyday, sometimes many times a day. Great place no other like it on the web. How long until we get to 2,000,000.

Wow America hits 300,000,000 and TBN does a 1,000,000 posts the same week, got to be a connection here.

TBN has probably been the most beneficial 'tool' in staying abreast of CUTs for me. I find I have more time to peruse it in the winter months when things slow down a bit but like it all year when I have the time. It is very easy though to drift off into TBN land as you read a post which talks about something, and then another and another. I have had wonderful results in getting information from fellow users and from many of you people out there that have been around tractors all your life. You can't put a value on the answers you can get to questions from other users. It is about the best research tool you can use from rock rakes to chippers to different tractor lines. The price is right as well! Keep up the good work Muhammad, you don't know how much you and this site are appreciated!!

TBN is like coffee. You gotta have it. It is good people sharing common intrest and concerns. TBN is entertaining, resourceful and educational. I visit almost everyday and enjoy every minute of it.

This is without a doubt the best source for all things manly. Very informative and a whole world of knowledgable staff to help me through any kind of trouble. Don't know what I did without it.
Thanks TBN,

TBN has been a family to me. When I started out reading posts I was just an observer who enjoyed the many topics. Then I found the tractor that would become my passion. Reading posts by others convinced me that this tractor was perfect for me needs. This continued until I made my purchase and was able to be a productive member of TBN and the forum of my brand tractor. Today I search many forums within TBN to get knowledge or ask the many talented prople on TBN for answers to my questions. Yes, TBN is my first source for knowledge.
Thank You TBN.

I have a very similar story to what most have already posted.

I grew up around tractors, knew to respect them and always think about what you are doing, be safe, etc.... My Grandfather and I own a '39 Ford 9N , and a '53 Farmall M . After years of "getting by" we decided last fall to start looking at a New Tractor with loader to make things easier for him and I, seeing as how I only get to the Property every other weekend and was constantly repairing things before being able to use a tractor.

So I started researching Tractors and stumbled onto TBN. After reading a number of Posts and recommendation from members we narrowed the Search , and then started pricing. Then made Purchase this past June.

Then I asked for recommendations on Tire Sealent to prevent Flats. PineRidge made a suggestion, gave me a company to contact, and Offered to send the Application Pump needed to pump the sealent. In todays world a person very seldom offers to ship a $100.00 pump to a "Stranger". That is just one of the many things that I could go on and on about, showing the GOOD no GREAT group of people that belong to this Web Site.

Thank You TBN, and thanks to all the GREAT posters.

I found the TBN when my new Cub Cadet wouldn't start, the information I recvd. from other members had me up and cutting in a jiffy. I would like to thank Fordlords for continuing checking on my post till I got it going.

TBN is just the icing on the cake for the new world of tractorin' I have found late in life.

Short story long . . . bought and currenly have a CC7194 to help with landscaping my new home, and to make a little gas money on the side to run it. After a couple of hours moving dirt, digging holes and leveling grade, I realized that old farmer out standing in his field, or driving that old tractor, knew a little something that I have been missing for the past 49 yr, 10 mo & 20 days.

This is the long part . . . I am in a very high stressed aerospace career and I used to use travel and outdoor adreneline sports to help me get away from it. With a new wife and another new home, and a peak effort period in my one of my programs serious time away from the office was out of the question . . . timing seems to always be of some question with me for some reason. Climbing into the seat of that little Cub and watching the dirt take the form that I want it to sure does turn off the stress pump for a while . . . 110 deg F and sun don't seem to make a difference. Sure, I get off the thing pretty wasted sometimes, but man does it feel good. Now I can't wait to get out of the office and get that tractor fired up. Best theropy I have ever found . . . well, maybe second best, but **** good anyway you cut it and until they make a bench seat for two, it will just have to stay No. 2.

Finding TBN has just made tractorin' that much better. Now when I get a minute during the day, I can light up the WWW (that ain't no wrestlin' site) and find out how important it is to wear a seat belt, view some pretty unbelievable countryside other tractors are running around in, get a lot of, and I mean a lot of opions on almost everything from where to buy parts to what to do with Timber's DaisyDukes when he dismounts his JD. TBN is a real get away even when I can't get away, sort of a mental tractor break without the sweet smell of diesel fumes.

My congratulations to the TBN staff for 1M posts and hope this is just 0.1% of the 1st 1B posts.

When I first joined TBN, the members welcomed my presence warmly. They helped me learn and understand the world of small tractors.

Through the membership's input and Muhammad's direct influence, I was able to find a great Kubota dealership and a wonerful machine (a B2400).

Over the past several years I have noticed that the TBN community is the most friendly place to be. The comments and stories have always been thoughtful and interesting. Rarely have folks gotten a warm under the collar. But if so, things cooled and everyone would "smile and shake hands". Nobody flames and everyone tries to be helpful.

The only better place to be is in the tractor seat.

TBN helped me find what has turned out to be the perfect machine for my needs. Since purchasing, it has continued to provide excellent advice on all things tractor and rural. I frequent a handful of tractor forums, and this is by far the most civil discussion I have encountered on the internet, on any topic. Congratulations TBN on 1,000,000, may the next million be as successful and informative.

You can't imagine how much I have enjoyed this website!

I will be acquiring a tractor in the not too distant future and the postings have been most helpful and oftentimes quite enertaining.

Thanks! and may y'all have many more years of success.

AS a country boy you have enlightened me on tractor issues that I have often wondered about, thought I knew, and verified what I had been taught, about tractors and all that goes with them. I must say that ever since I happened to come across tractorbynet.com,while doing research on compact tractors it has been a very positive influence on what was needed to help make a really good choice on not only the tractor and impliments, but advise on some of the personally done task and jobs. The reminder also that no matter how safe you are there is always a tragic or unhappy ending to otherwise a good tractor story does still occur. Thanks to all who share with us all!

As with everybody else... I've really enjoyed TBN since I found it over 2 years ago. I've learned a lot about safety from the great members here and from reading posts of others mistakes... and that is priceless. I really enjoy following projects like EddieWalker's dozer rebuild and when members chronicle a house being built. It's also a great source for nearly anything... not just tractors. There are a lot of knowledgable, kind people on TBN that are willing to share. There are few forums on the internet that even compare with TBN. Last but not least... a big thanks to Muhammad and all the others who keep this site running like a fine tuned Kubota!!!
