   i also have one of each and they seem pretty equal although i would probly give the edge to the wd45. My wd has fluid and the d15 doesn't and it seems to be the difference in pulling full loads of hay up the barn hill

	Hi all, Thought I'd start a fun discussion that Dad and I were talking about over Christmas. So, say you had a WD45 and a D15 II hooked hitch to hitch in a friendly barnyard competition, who wins? We got to talking this when Dad realized that his D15 II had a smaller engine than my WD45. So I looked up the drawbar horsepowers and they are basically the same. So we got to wondering. Lets assume both are stock (no supped up engines or anything), and running good. Both wide front. Both have fluid in the rear tires, but no other added weights. So both are approximately the same weight. Hook them up and what is the outcome? Is rear tire size a factor? How do the tranny gears compare? Hitch heights? Just come down to operators? What say you????
