He shows the 40 HP mowing up a steep slope with a 72-inch finish mower without bogging down, explains why the 25 HP couldn't handle hills or attachments without crawling in low range, and flags a recurring hydraulic whine on cold startup he hasn't resolved. Best for buyers weighing horsepower tradeoffs on hilly or demanding ground.
Posted by an owner-operator running this New Holland Workmaster on his own property, sharing real-world impressions rather than a dealer pitch.
The 25 HP tractor could not climb his hills or run attachments without crawling in low range, which tops out at two and a half miles per hour.
Yes, the video shows it pulling the 72-inch mower up a steep hill without bogging down or slowing, even with thick grass.
The owner reports a loud whining or sucking sound from the hydraulic system on first startup each day, lasting a few to ten seconds, cause still unknown.
The owner advises buying the most horsepower you can afford, saying he regretted not doing so initially with his 25 HP tractor.
