Torque at the drawbar? How is that possible? Torque is a twisting or turning force, or the ability to do work. Horsepower is the measure of how fast you get that work done. Drawbar horsepower is also generally less than PTO or belt horsepower. I imagine what you're trying to say is that the torque is multiplied by the gears in the transmission. That is true, but guess what, any time you multiply torque, you're also reducing speed by the same ratio, which results in the same horsepower being produced. Refer to the formula and multiply the torque number by 4 and divide the speed by 4, and see what kind of horsepower number you come up with. There is no such thing as a free lunch or free horsepower. Actually some is lost due to loss between gears. You can say what you want, but my math is correct, and numbers don't lie. And yes, you could very well pull a 4 bottom plow with your 350 Chevy pickup, as long as you use a sufficienty low gear and sufficient traction, which is the same principle applied to tractors. Jeeps were occasionally used for farming, after the war when tractors were in short supply - I've seen pictures of them doing field work.
