No need to swallow or accept another opinion.
An opinion is not a conclusion, may not even be factual, it's only a view that another person has tossed in the arena of conversation. Many times a conversation is fueled by opinions but that's all it is.
In my opinion I could buy a very capable 20 year old Cub that could swing a 54" mower deck, provide power steering, hydro transmission and drag one of these new Cubs around like a lawn roller all the same time for half the money or less.


That's just my opinion and I may not even be able to do it but it sure adds to the conversation....
