Owning HP wakeup call

[LD1]

4 Vehicles. Jeep, Ram, and two beaters with heaters.......737 hp
MX 5100......................................................................51 hp
Mini ex ........................................................................40 hp
ZTR .............................................................................27 hp
SXS .............................................................................54 hp
Logsplitter .....................................................................16.5 hp
3 kids ATV's ....................................................................36 hp
9 chainsaws.....................................................................39 hp

Total.............................................................................1000.5 HP

Looks like I "just" made the 1000hp club.

Would have been a little higher about 3-4 years ago. Sold the ~85hp backhoe for the 40hp mini, sold a ~50hp ATV. And traded the wifes 5.7 hemi ram 345hp in for the 172hp jeep.

And At one time I had a 116hp motorcycle and a ~580hp Firebird

But if we throw on some electric HP, I have a 10hp compressor, 10hp lathe, 5 hp lathe, and 2hp knee mill that could add another 27hp

Yeah I was thinking the log splitter, chainsaws, pole saw, spin trim, riding and push mowers are worth some Horses as well.

Pretty strange thread IMO.

Well, you could start one about who has the most "Tractor" horsepower.

You and Hay Dude would be near the top I would think.?.

MBTRAC might take honors overall.?

Not interested at all.

Try adding up the cost of fuel you have used over your lifetime. Now look at how many tons of carbon you've dumped into the atmosphere.

I added it up for my 3/4 ton crew cab 6.6L V8 turbo diesel 6.5 foot box 4x4. I was averaging 14,000+ lbs of CO2 per year driving a 10,000 lb truck with an empty bed more than half the time.

Great job, that's less than Mary Ng created on her flight to Davos this year.

If chainsaws count a 10 hp lathe has to count!

My wife's SUV has more horsepower and better power to weight ratio than my 86 5.0 liter Mustang had:

86 Mustang 5.0 - 200 hp 265 ft. lbs. - 3000 lbs.
19 Edge ST 2.7 TT - 335 hp 380 ft. lbs. - 4477 lbs.

I'm about 100 hp short of 1000 right now.

2013 Impala LS is 300hp 3555# = 0.084 power to weight ratio

86 Mustang 5.0 - 200 hp 265 ft. lbs. - 3000 lbs. = 0.066 power to weight ratio

19 Edge ST 2.7 TT - 335 hp 380 ft. lbs. - 4477 lbs. = 0.074 power to weight ratio

It's kinda fun to plug in numbers and see what you get....
