Low horsepower, but high torque. It was explained to me this way one time: A 350 Chevy that is running good will put out 350 ft-lbs of torque and around 200 horsepower or more. A Farmall M (248 cubes) will put out around 35 horsepower and a little over 300 ft-lbs of torque. Horsepower comes with higher RPM (the rate the work is done). Torque still gets the job done, and I know people will argue that you need horsepower as well, but look at an 18-wheeler with 400 horsepower pulling 80,000 pounds down the road... BIG torque numbers from that slow-running diesel. Put a 400 horsepower Corvette engine in the big rig and it probably won't even move - not enough low-end torque. Rambling over, feel free to argue, but I'll stand by wanting a high-torque diesel to do the big time work.
