I have had several of these larger decks in the last couple years and even at 25 hp these seems under powered to me especially at start-up. Oruga has develop a soft start system for their PTO clutches which could allow the use of a smaller engine but the mower manufactures have been reluctant to use it. This might be well founded as it could cause excessive wear on the clutch disc; although, Oruga says it is within normal safe slippage rate. I tried getting Oruga to send an unit for testing but they just failed to follow through on their offer.
