I have the Kubota gasser. The extra HP and torque was strongly recommended to run my choice of mower, the big 7' contour. It handle it well. Here in WV I am constantly on slopes, but the limitations are for continued severe slope over long periods in same direction. If you are mowing around a sloped field it is unlikely you would be leaning the same way that severely for so long. I have certainly suffered no ill effects yet. I do not have to choke the engine once it is up to operating temp. I use fuel preservative in gas and diesel and have no problems there either. If your other equipment is gas, that should answer your question; if diesel, again your question is answered unless you worry about the power difference. The diesel members here seem quite content.
