John - Your absolutely right. The Neb. tests in about 1953 to 1955 included the engine torque ratings and the RPM. H's& M's had torque peak at 900 to 1100 RPM. The small air & water-cooled lawn/garden tractor engines torque peaks are at over twice that RPM. With the gear reduction in their transmissions they should pull about the same, but in actual practice they sure don't hold their RPM in a tough pull like the old Farmall's. I was always surprised how poor the old green 2-cyl. tractors performed on the low RPM torque tests. In actual field use they did better than the tests would make you think they would do. But NOT enough better to make me use Dad's old jd B instead of the Super H. I'd have prefered Horses over that old B.
