What horsepower do wiper motors have I want to use it in a linear actuator raise plow on lawn tractor but will be powerful enough?

Wiper motors generally have a power rating of around 10 to 40 watts, which is equivalent to 0.013 to 0.054 horsepower. This amount of power may not be sufficient to raise a plow on a lawn tractor, which requires a more powerful motor. For a linear actuator raise plow, you'll likely need a motor with a higher horsepower rating, in the range of at least 1/4 to 1/2 horsepower, depending on the weight and size of the plow.
