I'm looking for opinions like: "I love my JD (whatever brand you have) ___ (model), but I'm pretty sure the __ HP PTO rating is too high." Or "... the FEL lift capacity is rated too high."
Spec exaggerations: List yours

The 3038e is the same way as is my dodge dakota. My guess is this is because most modern fuel pumps require a certain amount of fuel to disipate heat during operation, if the tank runs low you burn up the impeller.
As to the OP I have not really tested my FEL or 3-point to max capacity.
I will say the EZTrak 445 I have, I do have an issue with the 9mph ground speed the claim, I don't think its that fast, maybe downhill with a tail wind. My wife and dog can easily out run it.

You're asking for subjective data rather then objective data. You won't get spec exaggerations, you'll get opinions rather then facts.
Well, here's my opinion:
This thread is a useless waste of bandwidth...

That'd be great, because I wrote, "I'm looking for opinions ..."

The only trip up I have seen is that the three point is not rated for the weight of implement the tractor has HP to run of this weight. Yep, we got the power, but don't you dare try to pick this implement up. Somebody has missed something here. I am sure it is me.

sometimes that's merely a ballast issue.. as hp gets higher and frames get smaller, though, you do get to a point where you can have a tail wagging the dog issue.

My NH 1720 states that it has 28 HP. On the engine block, the manufacturer states that she has 26.4 @ 2500 RPM. I doubt that the PTO HP is actually 23.5 as stated by the manufacturer.

As I have been looking (not an active buyer) at new tractors, I noticed a LOT of mis-statements with regard to 3Pt capacities.
A certain Mfgr will list their capacity then that of the others, when you actually look up the specs for all from the sales sheets, you see that the allegedly superior make is truely equal or inferior.
I have also noticed that manufacturers will compare different models of competing products in different areas (HP, 3Pt, Hyd etc) as it suits their marketing agenda.
