[AJD] Lawn Tractor

[Dean Vinson]

Well sure, that's the point.  The initial purchase price of a couple
thousand bucks for something to maintain the grounds with is fine, and a
green tractor would be fine too.  But it's the follow-on cost I'd be worried
about.  I'm not a big Cub fan but you can expect them to last a heck of a
long time.  If after two or three years I had to shell out *another* big
chunk of cash to fix or replace something I'd already bought, then I
couldn't be buying the 60 or the A that I really want.
