You can plough a field with a 15HP Tractor. My 150hp Civic could not plow a field.

That statement has less to do with the power of the engine and more to do with what the overall design of the vehicle. If one so desires they could take the civic engine and put it in a more suitable vehicle to do the task. The engine doesn’t care what you hook it up to, only that it is not overloaded with resistance to its force exerted.
