An auto engine might make it's max rated hp at 4500rpm where-as a tractor engine makes its max power at anywhere from 975 to 2200 rpm. they are made to sustain max power all day long in the field under load and will do it for many many years. Try running a car engine in a tractor in the field under load at 4500 rpm or higher if so rated , and see just how long it will last. If you throttle it back to 2000 rpm to make it last then it won't have enough torque to pull through a mud hole.
