Machineguy 876 #1 Posted July 22, 2018 I’ve been on other garden tractor forums but this is the best by far! Even in the alternate brand area the discussion is open and fun. Many areas of discussion on here and folks have fun with it. Great job everyone!!!! 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 46,829 #5 Posted July 23, 2018 You don't know the half of it machine dude ... I just came home to find a very nice 60's vintage steering wheel on my porch sent by a member here with no questions asked. This is the generosity of the fellas here and this is not the first time this has happened. I'm convinced it's not this forum so much anymore but the caliber of guys and gals that hang out here and share a passion for these little red . Don't get me wrong I love RS and visit here more than any other GT site. The real high lite is meeting some of the clowns here in person at shows and whatnot. Best thing you can do @Machineguy is pony up 20 bucks for a supporter... this is what keeps the lights on here and ad free! 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really haven’t participated here until a couple days ago and man I’m impressed! People on here have been as you described and hearing about the generosity shown towards you is amazing to me. Probably a reflection on your character in my experience. I’d say being a supporter is my next move. Good stuff here for sure. I’ve seen the emotional, sentimental and all around fascination for these machines and the sense of community within that.

RandyLittrell 3,827 #7 Posted July 23, 2018 I am buying more horses not Cubs just because of this forum! It's nice to get help from people who are friendly verses other forums where they seem to just can't wait to reem someone. Randy 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not an expert on these and I don’t claim to be. I don’t need a jerk just waiting to jump on that fact. This is fun for me, I’m not in a competition with anyone. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,234 #10 Posted July 23, 2018 WELCOME TO RED SQUARE!!! You are correct...this is a special place. It has become a family...pretty much because of the GT shows. I suggest you find some close shows to go to where we have other members attending...like the Big show in Penn, Indiana and others. We are all pretty much blue collar guys with a hankering to meet and help others interested in our hobby. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That about sums it up. We are a community of mostly like minded helpful people who also have an affinity for tractors. From time to time we have had the predatory posters who will not play well with others, but our moderators do a super job of letting them know our expectations of fellow forum members. Thank you for reminding us what a great job they all do. 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
