I think my point is, that those are not "modern" engines and most farmers, at least for tillage loaded them to the gills, as our H was -- therefore we had to use WOT to pull anything.

Aircraft engines are NOT the same -- I was a flight mechanic on the old C 54's in the early 60's. Sat between the pilot and copilot and did the prop and throttle settings during cruise -- none of my business during takeoff, we would crash with me working them. Max power only during takeoff, less than that during most climbs -- not the same thing as an old tractor engine. Torque and HP are both important, but those old tractors were run wide open except for cultivating, regardless of load.
