Have you guys seen this comparison? There was 9 different tractors involved. This is my concern. They put the regent 17 hp against some v-twins. This was obviosly a jd comparison. The simplicity with a mulching deck was put against a number of the rest with side discharge decks. If you are shooting apples for apples, think again. I am not saying we were cheated, but I do beleive that it was not a fair comparison. I suppose if you drifted across your neighborhood for an hour or two, you might run into the mulching series of riders. But, I do not think it is appropriate to say that these riders can be compared. I think that the series of jd they compared is almost equal to the broadmoor series. I say almost because the lower series of jd is no more than a murray. Apples for apples, simplicity is hands down the winner!

Most of those "Consumer Reports" type articles should be taken with a grain of salt. They're okay for those who haven't got a clue.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
