Horsepower does not exist. It is a dervied number... hp = ((torque x rpm) / 5252). Therefore, hp is dependent upon torque and rpm. All Otto cycle engines develop maximum torque at something much less than their maximum rpm. For most tractor engines it's 60% to 80% of maximum rpm but there are a lot of variables. Whoever told you that you lose hp at high rpm is correct. Best bet is to run to an rpm that's slightly above the rpm at which peak torque is developed and then shift. This lets the engine accelerate as fast as possible. Tractor manufacturers were and are smart. It just so happens that they design them so that the engines' maximum torque is developed at, you guessed it, close to the rated PTO speed.

At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches. As most restorers, I have a number of war stories I can relate on a range of topics that may help other like minded and interested people. Perhaps my first p
