IMHO, it’s more of a question of can the tractor handle the size and weight of the mower (on hills, slopes, lifting, etc..)
Horsepower is a measure of how fast you need to get the job done.
With a hydrostatic you can always reduce ground speed so that the mower is only consuming the horsepower you have.
I’d rather drive 20% slower with a 5’ and not get bounced around than trying to drive 25% faster with a 4’ to cover the same ground in equal time.
