I hate to be blunt but who dreamed up that rule? A hydro is giving up something like 1 1/2 to 2 hp because it is a hydro. Does that rule also mean that a old...

I was told by the physics teacher at college that an all shaft/gear transfer of power to the ground you would lose 15% due to friction. He also told me that if...
That sounds pretty close except the 45% for automatic transmissions. That would be high and all newer ones have lock up torque converters so they are about the...

Unless it's slipping, a belt-drive setup is more efficient at getting the horsepower to the ground than a clutch drive setup. There's far less turning weight,...
Didn't step on my toes!! LOL You refered to a general statement and asked opinions, and in general, general statements don't hold much water. My opinion....
