What to post here

[Muhammad]

Here are some basic guidelines for what should and shouldn't be posted here in the new general forum for owning and operating...

Examples of what to post here
General how-to questions and answers, like "how do I use a rear blade to plow snow?" or "What are the best tire chains?" ... "How much ballast for FEL work?" ... etc.

Examples of what goes in brand-specific forums
"How to do 50-hour service on my B7500?" ... "Can I put R4 tires on my B7300?" ... "Recap of JD 4300 weekend fun!" /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Thanks...

And if I might throw my 2 cents worth in again, I'd like to suggest that as many of the posts be in the general section as possible. For example, it's easy to post some tips and techniques for grading with your JD9876 that you've figured out and want to share, and put them in the JD operation forum - but they belong in the general forum, unless you're using some feature your JD has that no other tractor does, right?

 

[Muhammad]

Yes, that's true.

I can see this forum as being one of the biggest on the board if used right. I like it not being by brand. Good help for all, even if you have a pink tractor.

Careful, Jerry!

A guy could be sensitive about stuff like that. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

 

[RoyJackson]

Harv...you did touch that pic up....right???

 

[MChalkley]

Harv - You'd better be careful, Harv! Next thing you know, I'll be wanting you to paint the real thing that color. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Nice job, BTW... The reason it took me so long to reply is that I was laughing too hard...

I hope that's an edited pic. If it's not, I'll bet it really turns some heads. A guy'd have to be pretty secure with his manhood to drive one of those.

 

[MChalkley]

If Harv'll come paint it, I'll drive it. /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

What, you mean you guys haven't heard?

The Mary Kay people are expanding out of cosmetics for women and into cosmetic treatments of yards and gardens. Of course the equipment they use will be 'Mary Kay pink'! /w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif

Question is:
Does the operator have to wear a pink tutu and high heels to match?

Hmmm.... /w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif

 

[MChalkley]

Harv - Temptin' ain't it? /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

 

[MikePA]

I have to know, what software did you use to modify the picture?

 

[jfakerj]

Harv
If you're going to Virginia to paint Marks EF let us know when. I'm sure there'd be a lot of members that'd like to see that.

 

[RobertN]

You mean like the 50 year old paint jobs on some Farmalls and Allis Chalmers /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

 

[MChalkley]

Just so you guys know in advance - I'm drawing the line on the masculine side of the tutu and tights... /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

 

[frank_f15]

NOW! how did i know HARV would come up with a pic like that?

I feel pretty,
Oh so pretty,
I feel pretty and witty and gay,
And I pity
Any tractor who isn't me today.



I feel charming,
Oh so charming,
It's alarming how charming I feel,
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real.



See the pretty Earth Force in that mirror there:
Who can that attractive machine be?
Such a pretty loader,
Such a pretty backhoe,
Such a pretty cab,
Such a pretty me!



I feel stunning
And entrancing,
Feel like running and digging for joy,
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful man!



I feel pretty,
Oh so pretty
That TBN should give me its key.
A committee
Should be organized to honor me.



I feel dizzy,
I feel sunny,
I feel fizzy and funny and fine,
And so pretty,
All the tractors can just resign!



See the pretty Earth Force in that mirror there:
What mirror where?
Who can that attractive machine be?
(Which? What? Where? Whom?)
Such a pretty loader,
Such a pretty backhoe,
(Whommm? Whommm? )
Such a pretty cab,
Such a pretty me!
(Whommm?)



I feel stunning
And entrancing,
Feel like running and digging for joy,
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful man!

Mike - It seems I'm the only one drawing the line anywhere. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif Very well done. As in roasted...
