so what is it about combine engines that make them more powerful than the tractor engines they evolved from?

I don't know for sure but if I had to guess I would say they had alot higher compression than the older ones.

Different way the horsepower is rated. Combines are engine horsepower where as tractors are PTO horsepower or drawbar horsepower.

Also combine engines are almost always rated at a higher rpm to get more hp too.

That was CHEAP! Salvage yard would want at least $2000 plus your old one.
