Go with 38HP Vanguard or go with the 40?

Not sure if I'll be grabbing a 2025 Turf Tiger II 61" with the 38HP Vanguard EFI that's available now or for my dealer to have the stock for the 40HP model. For reference, I'm only mowing about 2 acres weekly on my property. Nothing commercial, really. Is it really worth the wait just for the extra 2HP? Thanks for the info.

For just 2 acres weekly, the 38HP Vanguard EFI should be plenty and that extra 2HP won't make much difference unless you're tackling really tough terrain or dense grass

Even if there is a different when you compare both, I doubt you're gonna notice it in the real world. Besides, you're not doing anything extencive, so you should be fine. Now the most important question, how lond would you need to wait?

Dude, for 2 acres weekly on your own property? Absolutely not worth the wait for 2 extra horsepower
That 38HP Vanguard EFI is already a beast, way more than enough for that kind of mowing
You'll never notice the difference between 38 and 40HP cutting residential grass
Get the 38HP now and start mowing! lol

To be honest, you're already far above what's required for a yard that size. I'd enjoy the machine sooner rather than later
