I have the 3700su which is the same power train as the 3800 except the 3700 was only offered in HST. If you are doing loader work or pto with a finish mower you might consider the HST trans. You will only use the clutch to start the engine and put the pto in gear. When you are mowing you just mash the pedal forward or backwards. You will not "slip" the the clutch like you do with a manual trans during loader operations. The pto does stop on the 3700 if you mash the clutch, single stage. I am sure others will offer thoughts, I love my 3700. Hope this helps.
