But yet sells for significantly less in Canada, Mexico, and most other countries.

In 2000 we added user accounts. Those are the members who joined in the first month we had user accounts and are still active this year.
643 members registered in the first month and 25 still active. But of those 643 many were already members for months or even years before user accounts.
I recognize a handful on that list from 1998. March 21 1998 was day one. I think I still have the messages from day 1 downloaded somewhere.

Yeah but their prices will go up when Canada and Mexico become states

I only recognize about 5 of those names with jyoutz being the most prolific poster of the modern era.
Most of the others seem to seldom post anymore.

It's really impressive, how many original members are still active.

I recall Robert N from my early days as a new comer in 2004.
I had been looking to buy a tractor for about a year prior to joining…
TBN has been instrumental in influencing how I spend money.

And then there's the fact that three of them have fewer than 20 posts in that time.

That’s a killer statistic to me.
It’s as if it’s a love/hate relationship.
20 posts in more than 20 years.
Why bother unless they’re like oracles or something.
Cicadas make themselves known more in that time.

Everyone mentioned thus far are part of the five I’m familiar with.
I recall one guy last month who had his 32nd post who joined in 2004.
I tried to goad him into posting more but he didn’t bite.
I wonder if he’s reading this.

I recognize several of those early names, and miss a couple others not on the list. MrJimi and Soundguy were fairly close to me and posted frequently. MrJimi passed, Soundguy moved on to greener pastures although I haven't tracked him down lately. Soundguy was amazing with 50-90 hp Ford tractors!

I started in '98 about same time I got my first tractor
I think Bird was already here when I joined. May be off a little bit, but I think Bird and I were in the first 50 or so members of the original site, back when it started as a Kubota site.
The old days, when you'd make a post or a question, and it may be a few days between replies... Learned and shared a lot over the years.
About Bird, in those early days we talked about our Kubota's but he also talked about growing up using a compact John Deere "L" of the 1937-1946 timeframe.

A prolific poster back in the early 2000s was Mark Chalkley. There was a thread on the famous Chalkley cup that went on for weeks.

I often wonder about what happened to the guy in Florida that had the Diesel Ford tractors as well as the guy in Montana, I believe that operated the road grader for his township part time. Cannot remember either of their screen names however but I believe one was .....something Guy, Music Guy maybe? Both were long time posters that vanished and both were middle aged.

I get a charge out of posters that come on here, make one post and vanish. I always think they are some sort of AI bot.

Sound Guy.
LBrown was another interesting poster. He hated switching implements so as I recall he had 3 Kubota BX’s. He also enjoyed posting the same pictures over and over. He had pictures of his fuel system and tanks I bet he posted a 100 times.

Yes, the "Chalkey Cup" from the days before cupholders were a thing on tractors.
Miss HARV; he was a good guy, made the "Christmas Tractor" animation.
