So both of these offer a diesel motor at 25hp. The difference is the 900 comes with. 1.3 L motor with 80 torque vs a .89 L with 55 torque. Also it appears the larger motor runs a 2600 rpms while the smaller version runs at higher 3600. So my question is would the 1.3L really perform that much better with just having more torque? I know it should last longer running at a more normal Diesel engine speed but I’m not confident it will offer a great deal more power. Thoughts on this? Also does anyone have experience with the larger mowers capability on steep inclines and side hills? I have the 725D and with a 72” deck it struggles going up hills due to lack of traction. Thank you.
