Watts = Volts X Amps. So we need to know what voltage you were using to determine the wattage.
Just for reference, my Black and Decker lawn mower draws 12 amps at 120 VAC = 1440 watts.
1 HP = 746 watts, so my mower is producing about 2 HP.
My guess is that your motor is too small. And remember you need that blade to spin at about 2500-3000 rpm to be effective at cutting grass.
