OOOPPS. I also forgot to mention that they are all metal. The hood
on higher priced john deere and such have plastic hoods. Go figure,
pay less for better construction!
I'd take a fiberglass mowing deck over a steel unit, no corrosion.
I've never seen a fiberglass mowing deck - but I don't think that is
what
he is refering to. I think he meant steel vs fiberglass HOOD.
I know THAT, I'm just saying plastic is not always inferior to steel as a
construction material.
You've never seen one because it would last too long.
Nice try at saving face, but no cigar.

Not that it makes much difference - but I don't think he means "fiberglass".
I think he means one of the stronger plastics. There are some pretty strong
but they won't resist fatigue like steel will.
