If I build an engine that puts out 1000 ft/lbs of torque and limit the RPM to 1000 how much HP does it produce
HP = t x RPM/5252
Horse power of your engine Turtle is 190.4hp.
Winner, winner chicken dinner. Now answer the second part of the question.
How well would a 1000 ft/lb 190 HP engine do in a TV towing lets say a 15K 5er up a 7% grade?
It would do really well, just not very fast.
Maybe it's ok for some but sub 30mph would not be my definition of "really well." If that's the case my 65 HP tractor would make a pretty good TV.
x2 what Wilbur posted... and as far as speed... some have said... its not important as to how fast you reach the summit, but that you get there in one piece and enjoy the scenery along the way. :B
