Yeah, I got it but you still don't. Your statement is true AS LONG AS YOU DEFINE THE STANDARD.....YOU CANNOT COMPARE BRAKE HORSEPOWER TO DRAWBAR HORSEPOWER! The thing is, you are not going with the intended gist of the initial post by Daniel T. and that is to explain how the disparity between vintage and modern horsepower ratings relates to the ability to do work in the field or 'at the drawbar' and the operators' felt perception of that incongruity. I agree that IF the 'B' has say 20 brake hp and the garden tractor has 20 brake horsepower then they produce the same amount of brake horsepower BUT when you apply the same test to the pair at the drawbar the only time that the equality statement would be true is for that micro-second just before the garden tractor started to spin SO for the driver, or any observer watching the two pulling equal loads the 'B', obviously, would appear to have MORE POWER....you still with me or are you one of those "my mind is made up....don't confuse me with facts" kind of guys??? You are familiar with dyno charts, I assume? Look at the charts for a 12 hp Briggs and a 12-25 CASE for example and you will find that the Briggs produces its' peak at something like 3600 rpm and the 12-25 .........you know, I have better things to do than continue this SO for the sake of your ego and the continued smooth flow of the forum----YOU ARE RIGHT ..I AM WRONG...I STILL DON'T GET IT....FORGIVE THE REST OF US FOR BREATHING YOUR AIR and PLEASE ENLIGHTEN US AGAIN IN THE FUTURE (like about 75 years from now).
