It was a combination of things. The Allis has a 4" longer wheelbase, so I could go faster and still stay in the seat! I have 11L-15 multirib fronts and 18.4 x 30 rears on the Allis, both have a softer sidewall and cushion the ride better than the 9.5L-15 and 15.5 x 38's I had on the Deere. The Allis has 12 speeds compared to the Deere's 9, just couldn't find the right gear in the Deere.

The Allis I can hit the brake and spin right around. Lastly, the grass was not as heavy as the first cut, so to be fair, this probably saved me some time, even though power did not seem to be a problem. The Deere had plenty of power, can't remember it slowing down in the heavy stuff (no doubt it affected the fuel economy, tho).
