farmallman: I am by no means the oldest guy on here, but I probably am in the oldest 10% of the group. As a group we are not a bunch of computer whizz kids. We do get it turned on, and do tend to answer some real basic questions. Amoung my group are guys that remember taking a new Farmall F-20, F-30, M, H, W4, W6, SA, 300, 400, etc to the field. For myself is was at 8 years of age on a W4 same age as myself in 1950. I remember taking to the field on new 51-H, 55-300, 58-130 and 62-560D. Along the way we learned a few items. Also amoung us are guys who worked as mechanics and got to learn something about all models. From the farmer point of view it was the ones we used. There are also guys taking part in discussions that are also in the business of selling things. I have a hard time deciding just exactly where these guys real interest lies. I have a hard time convincing myself on taking advice from a salesman. Now I am open minded to change. Progressive change to me over the years was change that readily sped up the the way we got things done. I have looked at several other forums and find them all much too slow. This one is very fast. I can come in at end of day, turn on computer and review just about everything new that has happened during the day in about 10 min. Also in that 10 minutes I can decide if there is anyone or any subject I can assist or assist with. I can tell you I'm here because I like being here. I don't intend to give all my senior years and hours to this. If it is not going to be fast and efficient, then you best scrap the whole new idea. I will not be here if I have to spend eons of time loggin on, etc. Another item that has made this forum, is there are no such thing as a popular subject. If you guys wish to give priority to popular subjects, the forum will die. In fact it is my belief, we should have a committee to deal with real technical questions that make it to page 3 with no responce. This is what made this forum what it is, 96% of all questions get a reasonably good answer. I am sure most of my age group feel the same way, without us, what have you got?
