The other factor is the torque of the motor. You won't get as much work done with a cut as you will a utility evne though they are the same hp. The utility hp is going to be more useable and also that torque factor makes all the difference in the world. Where this relates to real world is if you are plowing, discing, etc. things that really require a tractor to work. The cut will stall out where the utility tractor will just lug down and keep on going. Probably, in my opinion, the greatest pulling tractor ever made were the AC 45's. Those little tractors could outpull just about anything. Heck guys put all kinds of extra weight on them just to be able to pull in higher weight classes they are so powerful. You just can't stall one out. They will even outpull the great 4020's and they are about half the tractor. You can put the AC plow on one of those and you will not stall it. You may lose traction because of your tires but you won't stall it.
