Reply to ELI5: Why does farming equipment require such low horsepower compared to your average car? by thetravelingsong

An important thing to also keep in mind is a vehicle engine is only called to produce maximum power for short intervals. While farm and industrial equipment may be asked to output rated power continuously for hours. This means for any given displacement you'd expect the farm and industrial engine to produce less power to increase service life and reliability.
