Hey, Im just curious, my C is supposed to have something like 20hp or so...and it could pull a house off its foundation...lol We had a 1998 JD 445efi tractor, with loader and weights it weighed 3,000 lbs give or take. And it didnt pull all that hard, in fact when chained to my little WheelHorse 702 (1962 model, with 1964 Kohler 8hp) it was dead even. The JD strained, and dug a little, but the WH spun its tires, and never moved. Now, my Uncle has a new Yard machine mower, that has a 18hp Briggs, and it feels like it has absolutly no power at all. What gives? I thought a Horsepower was a horsepower. 1 Horsepower = The ability to move 1lb 1 foot in 1 seconds right? im confused.... Also, I know it has alot ot do with Torque, the older engines, the Kohler and the Farmall are torque monsters...as the newer ones just buzz around at high RPMS... so...anyone know?
