If you can work your hills with a conventional tractor with any degree of comfort, and you're right about the slope angle, I think the new 425 will work them up, down, across or any angle you want, with either mower. As with any steep hill, when going up you'll have to slow the tractor down to keep your mower rpm up, which I have to do with the 1845, and I'll bet is even necessary with the 1850. Although the 1845 and 1850 are specifically designated slope mowers, the 422 and 425 are much more comfortable on hills than conventional tractors. I haven't driven the 4 series a lot, but I certainly would take them for slope mowing and tilling over the B7100 Kubota that I had for some years.
