Don’t know yet on HP. My yard is a acre,
But every time we drive in the country Wife sez we need to move.
So instead of a JD 1025r I already am thinking a 3025.
Now from watching YouTube vids a HP of 35 or so goes up hills better.
And from reading threads here bigger is better.

Though I live on 10 or 12 acres I only have about 2 cleared. My tractor is a 45 year old Yanmar YM2310. It has a front end loader (FEL), 27 HP engine, and 23 HP at the PTO. This tractor gets used a lot. The FEL is super useful and I made an extension for it that more than doubles the cubic carrying capacity. This enables me to load up a bunch of brush and tree limbs when cleaning up and transport the stuff to the burn pile. I have a 5 foot wide Yanmar tiller that I use behind the tractor as well as a 4 foot wide box blade and a post hole digger. The post hole digger gets used mainly for planting trees and other plants. Even if I had 4 acres cleared I don't think I would need a bigger tractor.
