TBN Members Lend a Helping Hand
Every once and a while we realize TBN is much more than an online community. This month, several long-time members from TractorByNet joined together in Texas to lend a helping hand to a long-recognized member, Jinman, who has recently been struggling with health issues. It's stories like these that remind us of the value of friendship.

Members Bird, Mikim, wroughten_harv, and txdon commited a day to setting up a lift to help Jinman get from one story of his home to the next.

They started by pouring a concrete base and walkway for the lift and then used Jinman's New Holland TC45 to put the lift in position. From start to finish, these TBN members worked as a team and accomplished great things! You will be impressed at the level of camaraderie displayed in this incredible story... To get inspired: Read the story here!

We hope to see you around the forums this month. There's no shortage of summer tractor projects, new attachments & equipment to discuss, or new friends to meet on TBN. We hope you're having a great day.

Take Care!
