| Darn lawyers.
Remember a few years back, a class action lawsuit was launched by a law firm, suing the small engine manufacturers over horsepower claims. Said they were overstated and millions of consumers bought and operated equipment that wasn't <i>quite</i> as powerful as advertised. You may have got a postcard in the mail asking if you want to participate, for if the lawyers win in court, and you own a push mower, you would be rewarded with a cheque for $10 (whoopee).
After that, you may notice that many manufacturers of equipment with small engines no longer state the horsepower, just the torque or cc's of displacement. | |
