Q:Â
I would like to know the comparison of the Torque to Horse Power. The old snowblowers were shown with cutting width and Horse Power, Now they are shown in Cutting Width and LBS Torque. What would be the the torque value of the 10 horse Power.
Thanks
Darren

HP numbers are not supplied by the manufacturer Briggs and Stratton as they are not allowed to by current laws.
That leaves torque, which is a measurement of "twisting force" a 1350 engine has 13.5 foot pounds of torque, which is our second largest blower motor. CC's of engine have no direct relationship to torque.
There is no conversion chart of torque to HP as it is engine design, that determines torque.
A car engine vs a truck engine in the same CC size will have vastly different torque and hp ratings. a truck engine will have higher torque ratings as it needs the "grunt" or "twisting force" to pull or haul heavy loads.
If you have ever used a lawn mower in heavy or wet grass and it "bogs" down or stalls, that is because the engine does not have enough torque.
