I'm looking at starting new project, possibly life long, as I explore the origins and variations of tractors globally. I plan to begin my research and documentation here... https://tractorsandtables.com/

HOWEVER given what I'll be exploring, I wanted to share with those here that manage, care, and maintain this article. Specifically I'm looking at the following for my research:

1. Country/locations first application of tractors
2. Types, brands, and creators of those tractors used
3. Current and pass development
4. TBD...

Along this journey I figured I could help with this article.

• Are there any important features that need to be added to this article?
• Are there any immediate needs?

very interested in helping.

there's an ISO standard for "sleeve hitches", which appear to be a common hitch in garden tractors, used for ground-engaging implements like ploughs.

Multiple vendors ( Cub Cadet, Craftsman, Johnny Products) manufacture them. Several manufactuers of garden tractors and at least one third-party, Brinly, manufacture implements. Someone even nerdier than me bought SleeveHitch.com to write about sleeve hitches, and various tractor forums are replete with references to sleeve hitches. But I have yet to find a useful secondary source.

Based on WP:Bold, I added a brief section on the subject on the main page, however it was promptly reverted. So I'll pose the question here with the info I have gathered: does this warrant mention on this wikipedia page (or perhaps another one)? Notecharlie (talk) 18:26, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

The way we determine what warrants mention on Wikipedia is to look at what the independent reliable sources have to say. In this case they say nothing - so Wikipedia, too, should say nothing.

Vendor product pages and ISO standards aren't sufficient. One can find standards and vendor sites for an almost endless number of products - for example pipe fittings alone would number in the thousands. But since Wikipedia is WP:NOT a product catalog, we correctly do not write about all those products. MrOllie (talk) 18:32, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
