Question Yea or Nay

I have had my O since May and love the little guy but it's really not very practical for my needs. I was just offered an even trade, My O for an 1999 AGS2160 that is in great shape other than a busted headlamp..What's everyone's opinion on the 2160 and do you think it's a fair trade. Thanks ~J~

I wouldn't do it but that is just my opinion. I think you will hate yourself later if you did. Just go buy another mower if you want one, but keep the "O".

no i wouldn't do it....if the Original your talking about is the one in your profile picture, its a very nice looking machine, vs a newer cheaply made model cub. not worth it. ive seen 2160 cub models around my area go for $250 in good running, cutting shape. keep your O. like the other guys said, you may end up kicking yourself later down the road.

No way, no how. Keep the O and buy another toy if you're wanting something more comfortable.

yeah, not a difficult decision for me either- I'd keep the O and get something else that's more practical for you. I know I'd regret it if I had an O and sold it.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
