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. Bill 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. The OP was not talking about a mower deck. He was talking about a tractor hood (bonnet). I suppose fiberglass would make nice fenders too, but that doesn't address the plastic hood costing more than a metal hood. -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY To email, remove the double zeroes after @ |

The OP was specifically talking about the mower deck - and mentioned nothing about cost. But I was not responding to the OP. |
