Yeah, I got it but you still don't. Your statement
is true AS LONG AS YOU DEFINE THE
STANDARD.....YOU CANNOT COMPARE
BRAKE HORSEPOWER TO DRAWBAR
HORSEPOWER! The thing is, you are not
going with the intended gist of the initial post
by Daniel T. and that is to explain how the
disparity between vintage and modern
horsepower ratings relates to the ability to do
work in the field or 'at the drawbar' and the
operators' felt perception of that incongruity. I
agree that IF the 'B' has say 20 brake hp and
the garden tractor has 20 brake horsepower
then they produce the same amount of brake
horsepower BUT when you apply the same
test to the pair at the drawbar the only time that
the equality statement would be true is for that
micro-second just before the garden tractor
started to spin SO for the driver, or any
observer watching the two pulling equal loads
the 'B', obviously, would appear to have
MORE POWER....you still with me or are you
one of those "my mind is made up....don't
confuse me with facts" kind of guys??? You
are
familiar with dyno charts, I assume? Look at
the charts for a 12 hp Briggs and a 12-25
CASE for example and you will find that the
Briggs produces its' peak at something like
3600 rpm and the 12-25 .........you know, I have
better things to do than continue this SO for
the sake of your ego and the continued
smooth flow of the forum----YOU ARE RIGHT
..I AM WRONG...I STILL DON'T GET
IT....FORGIVE THE REST OF US FOR
BREATHING YOUR AIR and PLEASE
ENLIGHTEN US AGAIN IN THE FUTURE (like
about 75 years from now).

Identifying Tractor Smells - by Curtis Von Fange. We are continuing our series on learning to talk the language of our tractor. Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
