Precisely. Smaller diameter (shorter) tire takes less power to turn, so there's more power to do work.

Of course, if you're using the tachometer to judge ground speed, you think you're going like a bat out of hell and the tractor has tons of power. That is, until the same tractor with 38's goes rolling by like you're standing still!

They didn't recalibrate the tachometer for different sized tires.

I remember one guy coming on here bragging about how much power his tractor had and how fast he was going pulling some big implement... on 18.4x34 tires, when his tractor was supposed to have 38's, maybe even 20.8x38s as I recall.
