I agree. Do not compare a 15HP Briggs to a 15HP AC B to a 15HP Rumley. One will run a garden tractor, one will drag a one bottom, and one will pull a house down.

I remember as a kid an old farmer tooling up on an old steam powered to the country store. I was about 4, and ran like heck all the way home. I knew what a B was, what a H and M were, but never seen anything like that, and it scared the living heck out of me. A controlled explosion on wheels, and quite impressive these days. Certainly are an art to punks like me.
