Sorry, but you need to read your post again. You can't call the answers stupid without insulting the person who posted the answer. You then called it typical- another insult. No one wants you to leave, we just want common respect and patience. No one here is perfect, and sometimes, it takes a little bit of banter back and forth to understand a situation or request a little bit better. Something rubbed you wrong, we get that, but give the community the chance to understand better what it is that you are seeking. If you go away mad, it is your own interpretation and choice.

Hate to see you go; you won't find a more friendly tractor site out there and I belong to several.
Screw it let him go. He came asking for a little adivse, a simple mistake was made and he wants to run away crying like a little bitch then let him.
Thanks guys for sticking up for me but I can promise yall my feelings surely arent hurt from some stranger over the internet!

I would be disappointed if your feelings were hurt; I'd also be disappointed if we didn't stand behind each other. You don't have to meet someone to be a friend, or have their back.
bludweiser, ya got a fine tractor! Bummer you wont be back, but you're acting like a spoiled child...

Oh boy. Looks like someone got their panties in a knot and bent out of shape 
Unfortunate it happened and it does from time to time on all sites. The only concern is if the OP had issues here he's not going to have much luck anywhere else. This is hands down the most polite tractor site on the net.
I'm involved with other sites and have locked horns myself with members on those other sites but never here and when it comes to Eric well he's about the most interesting member on here and knows as much about tractoring as one can know so to the orginal poster, take a dep breath, relax, come back and Enjoy the site. No one meant any harm and I hope you enjoy your new tractor.

He won't be back, he let emotions get the better of him and left in a snit, so even if he wanted to he is probably too embarrassed.Oh boy. Looks like someone got their panties in a knot and bent out of shape

I'm pretty new to the forum and don't know anyone but E/S and hate to make enemies this early, but post #25 was a bit over the line in my opinion, not that a lot were not thinking it.

In my opinion he deserved it after you read post #10. I actually think Eric was holding back. A new guy shouldn't be replying such as he did on post #10 but that's only my opinion
Huh? HST is worth every penny unless you are just mowing large fields. HST can go way slower than a gear drive transmission with more throttle. You can go as slow as you ant with hst, so slow the tire barely moves. Control is way better with HST. My last tractor was a gear transmission and I will never own another one, HST all the way.
I also prefer gear drive over HST, for everything. Not saying HST is bad, but personally I don't like it.

We will just have to disagree on this one, I just don't care for that kind of language on a forum that is supposed to be one of the friendliest.In my opinion he deserved it after you read post #10. I actually think Eric was holding back. A new guy shouldn't be replying such as he did on post #10 but that's only my opinion
I am not attacking Eric or taking up for Budweiser just expressing my opinion. Would you want to participate in a forum if that kind of language was common?
Heck, maybe it's me and I just belong here.
I just can't see how. HST will do everything a gear one will but it will do it a lot faster. I get 10 times the work done with my HST that I could do with my gear transmission. Have you ever owned a HST tractor? If so what model? I am looking for an explanation why people think a gear drive is better. I have never heard one yet.I also prefer gear drive over HST, for everything. Not saying HST is bad, but personally I don't like it.
I have a Massey 2300 with 5' finish mower with HST and our larger 3750 has hydro shuttle. Still I spend all my tractor time on the L3800 gear drive. And get the work done plenty fast.
No real reason, just like em better. Guess I like clutching and changing gears. I also know how to tear into a manual trans and fix it, but it's very rare they fail.
Not knocking HST at all. But there has to be a reason tractor companies offer gear drive...
Yall seriously I just laughed and shrugged it off. Thank's for sticking up for me and making me the most interesting man in the Kubota world.
Its hard to take an idiot like that serious when he has a brand of beer for his screen name and can't spell typical correctly! I think he needs to go back and drink another one!

I agree. Getting frustrated is one thing; getting snippy, when you are new to the neighborhood, is bad manners.In my opinion he deserved it after you read post #10. I actually think Eric was holding back. A new guy shouldn't be replying such as he did on post #10 but that's only my opinion
Well hopefully I never have to get into the hst. I like that I can stop the tractor on a incline and it just sits there. Especially when standing up deer stands and such the clutch is a PITA. They want to roll back where the hst just stops where you let off the pedal. I don't see any difference in power between my 50 hp massey and my 50 hp kubota. The massey was a manual. I don't need an extra hand to use the shuttle I can leave my hand on the bucket controls. All my tractors in the future will be hst.I have a Massey 2300 with 5' finish mower with HST and our larger 3750 has hydro shuttle. Still I spend all my tractor time on the L3800 gear drive.

Not saying you attacked anyone and you have a right to your opinion and yes we'll have to agree to disagree.
Up here if you act like an arsehole you get treated like an arsehole and that way everyone is on the same page.
If someone asked you a question and you answered it and they turned around and said you gave them a stupid answer, you'd be polite?
Sir I can assure you one thing. I would not be polite and that's putting it as nice as I possibly can

Well it appears I just may not fit in very well here. And yes, I would "probably" either be polite or just ignore them.Not saying you attacked anyone and you have a right to your opinion and yes we'll have to agree to disagree.
