Jason: While I can see where your coming from, this all makes very little difference in wanting to know drawbar, pto and flywheel hp of a specific tractor, and each having the same engine. And yes flywheel hp was available from IH down through the years, however you had to ask. I can see the torque curve being important if you were trying to decide whether to go diesel, gas or LP. Very important in deciding which make of 50 hp tractor to buy.

If you take this 450 for example, knowing all three horsepower ratings tells you how efficient the rest of the tractor is. Questions like how much demand is hydraulic system creating even when not in use. Some of the early IPTO had a fair power demand when disengaged. Also important how much of the engine power reaches drawbar output.
