OEM sheet — Land Pride lists a tractor horsepower range of 15–30 HP and does not say whether that is PTO or engine horsepower. The listed weight is without the auger, so add the auger's weight before you buy. The sheet's “Maximum power take-off Speed 300 rpm” is the gearbox output speed, not a limit on the tractor's PTO speed.
OEM sheet — Land Pride lists a tractor horsepower range of 20–40 HP and does not say whether that is PTO or engine horsepower. The listed weight is without the auger, so add the auger's weight before you buy.
