makes sense that derating gives you longer life
two things stuck out for me, did I need either more hydraulic power or more pto power
to drive a big mower. I didn't. So 70/75 was plenty.
15 foot batwings are popular and a good reason for needing more power in heavy going.
Sounds like perfect power as is for a 12 footer.
To pull a 15-foot batwing mower through heavy grass, a tractor typically needs
between 85 and 120 PTO horsepower (HP) to maintain a reasonable ground speed without bogging down. While many 15-foot models have a manufacturer-rated minimum requirement of 50–60 PTO HP, this is generally considered the absolute minimum for light maintenance clipping; heavy, thick, or tall grass demands significantly more power.
