Horsepower is a product of Torque times Speed(RPM).
As rpm goes up, if torque stays the same,then HP will go up proportionlly.However, this is only a reality on paper. In the real world, engines gain torque up to a certain rpm, then start to lose torque
from that point on. Some engines are designed for high-rpm applications, which don't require much torque...a weedeater is a good example.
Tractor engines on the other hand, are designed for durability and high torque at low rpm's.
The HP versus torque curve for a tractor engine rated 300 hp is a lot different than for a car engine.
Tractor engines usaually have a long crankshaft stroke, and long connecting rods, and a tall block, which all contribute to high torque at low rpm.Car engines tend to be short-blocked, to conserve space and reduce frontal area . Therefore, a higher rpm is required to produce the same horsepower.
The point where the torque and horsepower cross on the graph is the most effective rpm for getting the most useful work done.

Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
