Torque is the rotational moment (of inertia) that moves mass. Tractors move mass. HP is torque x rpm's. Your 57 hp will probably be: Cheaper to buy Cheaper to run Quieter Last longer due to lower rpm's Easier on-off as is probably smaller chassis Easier to shed You probably won't notice the 10% drop in torque which you are getting at a lower rpm (which is always better). OT: I am amazed at GM truck commercials where they boast about their HP and Torque. Those values are in the 4000 to 5000 rpm area. When's the last time you ran your vehicle at those rpm's? Maybe a European sports car on the Autoban. I run my truck between 800 and 2000 wanting torque peak as low as I can get it to get the load started rolling. Only one answer for me. Mark
