What should the HP be on a Caterpillar 3126?
The 300/330 HP engines have the torque curve moved to the right slightly, thats all. So if you are looking to tow weight up a steep grade, torque is what does the work. You should gear the vehicle to have the torque where you need it most, at the RPM you typically pull. Otherwise you really don’t care about the HP factors.
