To answer your question about time, I have two MF's with identical diesel engines and one will be warm in about 10 minutes and the other about 15 minutes, go figure. I "wonder" if after draining and refilling you got some air in the cooling system? You "may" want to remove the cap and let it idle a short time to see if it burps any air. If it's filled to the top of the radiator you may want to first remove some with a turkey baster and see if it burps then and afterwards refill to slightly below the neck on the rad, replace cap and let it idle. I would think your 25 minutes should be fine, if not, as suggested place some cardboard in front of the grill and see if the top hose warms up. Medium idle should be good. IF the bottom hose feels warm/hot but the top is not you may have a stuck thermostat, not uncommon when using water only. Good Luck with it and welcome to the board:-)
