Quick question – knots/mph and cc/hp

The Today’s Pilot has a very good conversion fact sheet that can be printed and also a online calculator you can find it here: http://www.todayspilot.com/conversions/convertfact.html

Nope , I have the same tow hitch on both – only difference is that the Fergies is self levelling , and Saabs don’t come with depth regulating hydraulics 😀 . I tried to drag a tattie howker out of a field last year with the Saab as I was to lazy to go and get a tractor – a definate no go.
The Fergie easily pulls a 9 ton grain trailer at 12-15mph , the Saab won’t , period ( unless you want to buy a new clutch every week .
😉 If you are ever looking for an aircraft tug drop me a mail , I have some Fergies I need homes for , I never let anybody I know scrap a Fergie , I would rather give them away to good homes , all run well but most need paint .

Moggy is bang on – example, my tractor has a 2000cc engine and puts out a grand total of 25bhp , my car is 2500cc and puts out 148bhp , BUT when you have a look at the torque my car could never pull any of the implements my tractor does .

1kt = 1.15mph

1mph = 0.87kt

hope this helps 🙂

Ahh right! Never realised that!! Told you I’ve never got the hang of this! 😉

Hp is a measure of power output

cc is a measure of cylinder capacity.

They do not equate, it’s a bit like saying what is the equivalent in litres of inches.

General rule of thumb is six knots to every seven miles.

No idea on hp/cc though.
