leeave96 487 #1 Posted November 6, 2013 uick question - torque vs HP. I'm tooling along with the 314-8, enjoying some badly needed seat time/therapy while mowing grass and I roll into at tall patch of grass. From 3600 RPMs, the engine falls to 3200 RPMs, the engine grunts and bull dozes through, obliterating the tall grass and then back to a smooth 3600 RPMs. What saved the day, torque or HP? Thanks!

WheelHorse79 271 #2 Posted November 6, 2013 My understanding is that HP is just the delivery rate of torque. So, torque saved the day. The formula for HP is HP = Torque * RPM / 5252. HP is really just another measurement of torque. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dodgemike 52 #4 Posted November 6, 2013 Isn't another way of defining Horsepower is torque/time? Sent from my SCH-S720C using Tapatalk 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
