Interesting, but forgive me for saying that you're not quite answering the 
question.  

The OP wanted to know what rating of motor to use for drive and what for 
mowing.  However, you've given the TOTAL power USED by BOTH the drive and 
the accessories under certain conditions.

And remember, you don't need a 12hp-rated motor go actually GET 12hp.  
Peak 
power of an electric motor is several times its rated power.  I suspect a 
2-
3 hp motor would be more than enough to drive a tractor.
