HP of a tractor engine indicates its working capacity and power output, determining its ability to perform main agricultural tasks like pulling loads and operating equipment.
Torque refers to the rotational force produced by a tractor engine, and is crucial for power take-off applications like plowing fields, tilling soil,heavy loads, and balers.
When looking for a tractor that can provide you with speed in agricultural tasks like mowing or planting, you should give more priority to tractor horsepower (HP).
For heavy-duty farming tasks such as plowing, pulling heavy loads, or using PTO-driven equipment, it is recommended to use a tractor with higher torque for optimal power.
HP and torque are interconnected, with the formula for measuring tractor HP being, H.P. = torque x engine rpm ÷ 5,252. Higher torque results in higher HP.
