What about a pancake 4-53 turning 2400rpm? Sounds ultra BAAAAD but, does little more than turn diesel into heat and noise. Our shrimper would absolutely HOWL at you...they don't call 'em screamin' Jimmys for nothing!

OTOH, the German 3-cyl, N/A, 40hp engine in my Deere 2040 sounds like it wants to go to work just sitting there idling...I love hearing that little jewel hunker down and swing a shredder through tall grass; it will work all day long on a teacup of fuel too.
