Reply to comment by KaareKanin in ELI5: Why does farming equipment require such low horsepower compared to your average car? by thetravelingsong
Yes and speed translation comes down to the difference between the original answer of what's more important for each piece of equipment,. Horsepower or torque? For farm equipment it's torque, for cars horsepower. If it's heavy and you need torque for moving heavy loads slowly but with power. taking a hatchback up a hill and onto the freeway horsepower, there have been some awesome answers so far in the responses that nailed it. This was a great question to ask and I hope a lot of others got their answers as well!
