LBrown,
I do not know why you are arguing and making yourself look arrogant and unhelpful. The original poster was posting his own thoughts on a JD GT that his neighbour had used to till up his yard. He had tried to do it with a BX15 and had been less than pleased with the results.
This may be because of a difference in HP, or that it was not a fair test, but I do not think that this matters.
He posted this in the right forum, where it is perfectly acceptable to say how well a tracor has performed.
If it has helped his decision making process of buying a new machine, then that is a good thing.
I don't think you are helping him make his decision though.
I can see why he likes the JD more: it has a lot more luxury in the operating department, more power and probably makes the BX look like a lesser machine.
But, it is a lot more expensive as you have pointed out.

I sure would not rely on anything from a rental yard as a dependable measure of a tractor.
If you were going to buy a new ford car would yopu go to HERTZ or would you try out a new one at the FORD dealer?
I don't know why you think this, it seems a perfectly good way of getting a good trial out of a tractor as long as it is in good condition.
