See if this makes sense to you. I have a Cub Lo-Boy that has 11 hp at the PTO. Last summer at RPRU in Ohio, Nebraska Cowman has his drawbar dyno drag sled setup. After everyone wasn't looking, I asked if I could give it a shot. We disconnected the trailing Hs and just pulled the truck. I made it all the way around the track, but he had to "help" me in a couple places. The highest HP I registered was 2.75 hp. This is saying that all that tractor needs is 2.75 hp because I can't use more of it anyway in those ground conditions. Yea, I could put more weights on it, but whatever. So if you think you need more HP you are nutz. You need more traction first.
