“V-Twin Milwakuue-Eight 117 powertrain that cranks out 125 ft lbs of torque at 3500 RPM.”

125 ft lbs of torque at 3500 RPM is pretty good numbers for a tractor.
Since I ride motorcycles and will not be doing any plowing or stump pulling, I cannot help but wonder what the horsepower is at the rear wheel.

from another review:

The El Diablo’s engine and chassis are no different than the standard FXLR ST. So this means 94.89 hp and 114.79 lb.-ft. of torque from a 117ci Milwaukee-Eight V-twin and the capable and comfortable Softail chassis. But paint and audio have a powerful effect on the overall presence of a machine. The ST in Gunship Gray or black feels muscular and understated, but El Diablo feels more like a show bike. Sure, it has the same hot-rod character as the base model, but now the bike broadcasts that attitude in new ways, both visually and sonically.

So the answer to your question is 94.89 and for 28k you get a primo sound system.

“I cannot help but wonder what the horsepower is at the rear wheel.”

Horse power formula: 125 lb. ft. x 3,500 RPM / 5252 = 83.3 HP

If the engine is running at 3,500 RPM the HP at the rear wheel will be 83.3 minus any frictional losses from the drive line. Gear ratio does not affect power but the friction loss does.

Seeing that most Harley riders are 50+ years old and weigh on the far side of 250 pounds, that power is necessary.............
