The smaller engine may put out a peak of 20 HP at the RPM peak but as  soon
as you lug it down and compare useful horsepower, you'll find a  big

There is a class action lawsuit against most lawnmower manufactures,  
including riding mowers, that goes back several years for overstating horse  
power.  I believe most no longer state horsepower but just give engine  
displacement or give a horse power disclaimer.
