ZT1844 (38HP) NEW or 2250R (25HP)NEW?

So I have been grinding with a Husqvarna SG13 (M1 Blueshark wheel) for about 10 years now. Decent little machine, but it has become apparent I need something bigger, just wondering who has any thoughts on either of these 2 machines? 38HP ZT1844 or a 25HP 2250R? I am sticking with Bandit either way, just want to hear some pros and cons.

So a 38HP direct drive or a 25hp hydro drive are the choices? Bandit ZT1844 all the way. I bought a ZT1844 last year, it's a money making little grinder, I just don't use it very much.

No....not you Lumberjack!!! Ha, I bought one of those too to grind hundreds of small stumps on a 7 acre property. I had rented 27 horse grinders a lot before. 38 is definitely a big plus.
