For a tractor though, isn't torque more important? Isn't it torque that is used to get a large heavy load moving? If the Honda engine were able to be bolted into a tractor chassis, its 175 horsepower wouldn't really be usable would it? It only would have like 85 ft.lb of torque, which would mean it would just stall when a heavy load was applied to it, wouldn't it? Wouldn't you need to dump the clutch at like 7000 rpm to get it in the power band, and then wouldn't it cook the clutch instead of moving? Just out of curosity, what kind of torque did your C152 make on the dyno? I would think it would be a lot higher than that of a car.
