The one exception would be if I was using it mostly to work fields, such as discing or scraping or whatever. The extra oomph of the gear is nice then.

I haven't had it on a dyno, but I'd be willing to bet it has considerably more than 26 hp -- probably more like 32 or so. It just goes and goes.

But, my land is about as flat as it gets, with only orchard trees to work around. If I was trying to work in sloped, forested lands like yours, smaller might be better, and the 2015 might be perfect. Like Dave said, try both and see what works best for you.

Matt, bring it up and I'll stick it on the dyno for free. I'd bet 29 HP, 28 minimum.
