As Jerry/MT has posted correctly, HP has a definition and can be applied across the board to all engines. Yes, indeed a 250 HP Yamaha or 250 HP Chevy can pull the same load at the same speed up the same hills as a 250 HP Cummins. There are differences, the Cummins will certainly give a longer service life and as such would be a better choice for the service you imply.
Since the Yamaha and Chevy would develop 250 HP at a higher RPM, a proper transmission/gearing would be required to demonstrate the ability to pull on par will the Cummins.

Typically, the specs for this engine are given as 1500 HP, 2750 Ft-Lbs torque at 3000 RPM. However, this is taken after a 10:1 reduction gearbox packaged into the engine. The numbers ahead of the gearbox would be; 1500 HP, 275 Ft-Lbs at 30,000 RPM. HP is HP however, gearing must used to match the engine/power to the application.
