How did you find TBN?

[Steven]

was looking for some feed back on bx-22 and stumbled across this site and bookmarked it. Now I try to visit it on a daily basis if I have time. there is quite a large pool of knowledge on this site and I have been acting like a sponge and soaking up as much as I can on topics that I am not very familiar with. Thanks to you all..

Ya, what he said he said/w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

I found it two versions earlier than this, just doing a search on Kubota. I think I had just got my B8200 Kubota.

And, I remember when Mr. Rat was the infamous "Paddock"/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

How about Kubota Tractor Source..? Or are we all going senile together?

Okay folks, if you'll take just a minute, you can see "history come alive."!!!

As I recall sometime around Oct of 1999, the "switch" to TBN occurred. And the rest, IS HISTORY!

If you haven't ever seen the "Way Back Machine" it is pretty neat, don't cha think?

In my case it was only April of this year and I believe I was searching for info on a Deere 1050 as a local dealer had one I was interested in buying. I found a post mentioning 'Deere 1050" and then went to the root of the post, then the home page and now, some eight months and probably far too many posts later (far, far more questions than answers), here I am.

At this point, a visit to TBN occurs every time I turn on my PC and I probably average more than one visit per PC session. The best description I've given of it is that TBN is what I always thought and hoped the internet could be. I only wish I'd found it sooner.

[TOMLESCOEQUIP]

I deal in used material handling equipment (forklifts, sissor lifts etc.).......I sold a NH dealer a used (off lease) forklift for their new facility.......Since then they've sold me many used machines( skidsteers, loader tractors, etc.).and we developed a good working relationship.....I looked at kubotas..but the NH dealer beat their price......and I've had 2 NH skidsteers for years (L785, L250, then a new LS 120) and they have been dependable machines so I thought I'd try blue....I have a total of 5 hours on both machines Got them in late oct./ nov......Mowed once with the TC 33 and put it in the barn for the winter( I use the skid loaders for snow removal)...The TC 40 I drove off the truck and put it away.....Looking for a FEL and other attachments in the spring.......Tom

I did an internet search for "Kubota" in the summer of 1997 and found one of the earlier versions of this site. Can't remember if I had just purchased my Kubota or was about to.

Yes Kelvin, you've been here forever. You, RobertN, Von, and a few others are the only ones left from the EARLY days. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Me oh I just stumbled in one day! /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

I was in the market for a new tractor. There was an article in "The Mother Earth News" that was not very informative. It did however give several good links to tractor sites with this one being the best I looked at. I found the people here to be very informative and helpful. I always lurk in the shadows even if I don't post for awhile.

It's a long story that started in a land far from here. Pull up a chair, a cup of coffee and I'll fill you in.

You see, about a mile south of where we live right now is a state they call Indiana. I actually grew up in that state but that's another story. Sometime in the year 2000 (AD) we were getting restless in the cramped subdivision we called home. We began looking for some property. Of course, I saw this as an opportunity to have a tractor, something my father never realized but could have used more than myself.

Anyway, I did some searching and came across CTB and the Tractor Hacker pages by Andy. Really got me interested. Somewhere in all that was a mention of this wonderful place called TBN (or whatever it was at the time). I didn't believe it at first, but it turned out to be true. I slowly migrated from CTB to TBN and haven't looked back since.

During that time we bought the property, then the tractor (which was all spec'd out prior to the property finalization thanks to the wisdom of TBN), and finally built the house.

The next chapter would seem to be another fun place called CBN /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I was just looking for things on tractors on the net. I found this site and I have enjoyed it. I really like it that everyone can voice an opinion and they aren't belittled about it. We all have our likes and dislikes. It would be a very dull world if we all liked the same thing. I like hearing about others problems and their solutions. I am currently trying to figure out how to run remote hydraulics to the rear of my B7500hst. I keep getting ideas from here. Keep up the good work as you can't seem to get an unbiased outlook on the tv anymore.
I would rather spend my time reading the posts and replying when I can help than watching the tv. Thanks to all who keep the site going.

I was looking for a tractor, in 2000, and a magazine article I read mentioned CTB. I checked that out for a while, and this guy named Bird mentioned TBN, I checked it out, and have been here ever since!

Thanks, Bird!!!/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

In the summer of 2000 my father in law offered to give me his B6100 if I drove to California to pick it up. I had only seen the tractor sitting in his back yard for years so I was doing a Google search to try to find out more about the tractor so I wouldn't look totally stupid in front of him when I went to pick it up. That got me to CTB and TBN and, like the others, "I've been here even since".

 

[s1120]

So you never got that 1050? We talk you out of it?/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

 

[Muhammad]

I remember an article in Mother Earth News by Ken Burner, but he didn't reference this website, for some reason... was there a different article that did?

 

[Golfgar4]

I'd decided that I wanted to pursue a long time dream of owning a tractor, so I began doing some research on the internet. I stumbled across the site and thought it was just an ad to order the book. So I ordered the book.

A short itme after getting the book, I was telling someone about it, but couldn't remember the name of the site, so I came back to it and realized that it was just a little more than an ad! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

And, as they say.... The rest is history! /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

When most everybody that was in Yahoo's Yanmar group moved here I came too. Now I rarely look at the Yanmar part the rest is so good. Learned a bunch just reading posts.
