 hey look

Two words -- personal responsibility. You obviously did not do your homework and rather than admit a mistake and take corrective action (like selling the thing and buying the Deere you cherish), you need to blame Kubota and badmouth the machine (and those like myself who bought one) to make yourself feel better. Rather than whine about what could have been, why not grow up, take charge of your life, and sell the tractor that is making you so unhappy?

And for what its worth, it's insulting to read your constant griping about the inferior products Kubota makes. I did a great deal of research, test drove many different makes and models, talked to friends and neighbors who own tractors, and spent lots of time weighing the pros and cons of each. After all that, I bought a 7510 because it was the best machine at the best price for what I need to do. I have no regrets.

 hey look

It's Friday afternoon and a rare sunny day. Should I stay in my office and get pulled deeper into an asinine argument with a faceless individual whom I suspect will never be happy with an orange machine, or should I go out and get some seat time on the 7510 that I like? Hmmm...

This argument reminds me of the upcoming election. What I find frustrating is that minds don't seem open; conclusions have already been formed and nothing will change them. How many self proclaimed conservatives, for example, have gone to see Farenheit 911? Likewise, how many liberals take the time to watch Fox news? In my mind, not enough. Rather than challenge oneself to be an informed, independent thinker, it's far too easy to sink to a level of badmouthing the "opposition". And even worse, people just talk and don't act. People aren't involved, even at the most basic level of voting. This argument seems similar. Rather than step up and do something about the tractor, whether its strengthen the crossbar, painting it a contrasting color (if this helps with the vision) or getting rid of the thing, it's far easier to criticize it, ridicule others who bought one, and continue to suffer.

If something caused me that much anger and unhappiness, I know I'd move on, but that's just me. And speaking of moving on, I'm going to go used the 7510 I happily bought and enjoy using...

You're right, people should not get their information from a movie. I used that example because I think everyone knows that it has a decidedly liberal slant, just as Fox has a conservative slant. My point is that too often people form opinions and then surround themselves with like-minded thinkers rather than challenge themselves by being exposed to people who do not share their beliefs. People are not hearing about different sides of the issue. And for the record, no, I have not seen it, nor do I have any desire to.

Might I vote for John Kerry? Maybe. Might I vote for George Bush? Maybe. I am one of the 17% of Americans who have not decided who to vote for in November. What is interesting is that in 1992, 66% of the population were undecided at this time.

Clearly I have digressed fom the intent of the site, and I apologize to all. My pentance will be to mow the field after the boys go to bed...

I kinda got things off track -- didn't mean to. I just got back from cleaning out the barn and mowing which reminded me of why I started coming to this site in the first place -- to get helpful information about tractors.
