Thanks, Bill, that is an interesting article. I
have been wanting to learn more about the
torque/horsepower relationship. It still leaves
me in the dark a bit though. They're talking
cars where acceleration is important. I'm
wondering why my old 600 which is rated at
67 hp and 500ft/lbs torque will out work a
more modern 100hp tractor. Seems like the
'Vette people want those rpms, but I want
sheer, raw torque. Same with my F-12, it will
out work any 12 hp garden tractor.
Seems like in the ag world torque is all that's
important, while in automotive, hp and rpms
win. Any thoughts?
