Here is the deal the way I see it. These high hp lawn tractors are made to sell to ruch uppies who don't know sh$%. They are impressed by HP, and don't know you need weight to put it to the ground. Probably these tractor engines do produce the rated hp, but at some high rpm that will wear the engine out in a short 9 (relitivly) time. To get the torque and rpm of a real tractor engine you would have to gear them down, way down. A real tractor engine like your F 20 will run for thousands and thousands of hours at it's rated hp, these uppy tractors only have to last to mow the lawn for a few years before they throw them away and get a new one. The real lawn and garden tractors, made like around the 60s had maybe 10 or 12 hp engines and got the work done no problem, then the makers realized that hp could sell and now you have 30 hp tractors. Your F 20 will pull a number of them backwards, all at the same time, untill there is nothing left but the chain you hooked to them. And not even be warmed up doing it. And last for ever doing it too.
