953 nut 70,246 #1 Posted yesterday at 11:07 AM Twenty years ago, the forum we have come to know as Red Square launched. Karl and Mike will be along to fill in the details. Thanks to you the photos in this YouTube video help tell the story, with few exceptions all of the photos were posted on Red Square since November 2025. So, in essence you made this video, I just posted it for your enjoyment. There is no narration, just some lighthearted YouTube generic soundtrack music, Enjoy. 1 17 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nylyon-(Admin) 9,172 #9 Posted yesterday at 06:07 PM Instead of creating a separate post, I will add to this one since Richard did such an amazing job with the video, thank you! Many of you know how this place came about: Chris, high school project, @Sparky babbling it up, and me looking for a snow plow, so I am not going to rehash the origins of the forum. When RedSquare started to grow, we picked the right team to help us build this place how we would like to see a forum run. We really tried to stop the hate posts and the sarcastic answers, to give the members a good place to ask their questions, and to allow a safe place for the younger members to be. In the beginning, it was a little challenging, and some of the initial members left to form their own forums with their own view of how they would like their site to run. Which was fine with us! After a few years, RedSquare became basically self-moderating. There is just the vibe of “it’s how we do things here” that ALL of you follow every day that keeps the forum running smoothly. When things go awry, our moderators quickly jump in to get things back on track. It amazes me just how few members (spammers excluded) we have had to ban permanently. I couldn’t be prouder of how RedSquare turned out; it far exceeded any expectation that I ever had. It really is hard to fathom that it has been 20 years, but that’s what the numbers say. I have always felt that RedSquare had a definite and positive influence on the Wheel Horse community. @gwest_ca was running the Wheel Horse Manuals group on Yahoo groups, and I forget who approached who, but with the Yahoo Groups shutting down, he offered to build the manuals section for us here. If you were not aware, Garry is 100% in charge of the manuals section—he kicked me out and told me to keep my hands off his baby. (Ok, not really, but close 😉) I can’t think of any other site, Toro included, that has a more comprehensive or better organized area for Wheel Horse manuals. Garry, I can’t thank you enough! So many members throughout the years have stepped up to build this place to where it is today, from volunteering to organize the forum better, to creating regular fun posts, making calendars, promoting the forum, and of course sharing your knowledge. For me, it’s never been about the tractors; it’s always been about the people, and we have the best. Congratulations on 20 incredible years of building something that truly matters to people. It's an amazing milestone! 2 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EB-80/8inPA 2,129 #10 Posted yesterday at 07:49 PM Happy 20th anniversary to the forum and the founders, and all my best to the great folks who make this special place what it is. I joined a little over five years ago. At some point in the not too distant I expect to get around to posting something, anything, that might actually prove useful to somebody. In the meantime, thank you to everyone who have helped me out along the way! You guys are great! Thanks! 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
