The horse power is all relative to the torque and RPM"s as the home depot 20 HP is at what 3500RPM and your F-20 IS 20HP at 1500 RPM big difference in what they will do. Just like the old 2 cycle detroits verses the cummins or cat all had about 300 horse just the detroit had no torque, still pulled the same load just not as fast. Now for real tractors if you had asked me 20 years ago if it didn"t have steel tracks it wasn"t a tractor wheels would just spin if just a little wet and lots of compaction still that way to some extent. Now your 40 horse tractor won"t pull 6-16"s either but a D-4 cat will very nicely from the 1930"s top RPM is about 1650.
