You are wrong,or there was something wrong with it.Gears are everything.If you took a little lawnmower engine like 15 horsepower,and hooked it to enough gears and transmissions,you could pull 80000 pounds with it 70 miles per hour.You might have to shift 4000 times and it might take a couple of hours to get there,but it would be possible with enough gears on flat ground.I have a gear reduction wrench that I put a socket on one side and a ratchet on the other side and it multiplies the torque of the ratchet 4 times,to tighten head and main bolts that are 300 ft pounds and over on big diesel engines.So about 75 pounds of torque on the ratchet side gives you 300 pounds on the socket side.Your engine at 7000 RPMs through 3:30 to 1 gears will be over 150 mph.I dont have a calculator,but it will be more than 150 MPH.What makes you think it wouldnt?
Maybe you wouldnt want to be in it that fast,but somebody is wild enough to drive it as fast as it will run.It wont do it in a quarter mile,but it will in a mile or more.You probably would be surprised how quick it will do it too.
You do know that rails and funny cars go over 300 mph in the quarter mile now?

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
