Makes sense to me. Say your car is rated at 180 HP. This would likely be at somewhere in the neighborhood of 4500-5000 RPM with today's V-6's. How often and how long would you be at that RPM/HP? Maybe for passing, and the odd stoplight-to-stoplight Gran Prix. The rest the time, you're cruising in overdrive, at 1500-2000 RPM, using only a fraction of the rated horsepower of the engine.

A tractor, OTOH, is much more likely to spend hours with the throttle set at PTO-rated RPM, cranking out near-maximum horsepower, while plowing/disking or whatever. Therefore, the engine must be mechanically much more rugged.
