According to one of my books, published in 1979, the M109 is powered by a Detroit Diesel 8V71T inline with turbocharger, but the size is not given, nor have I been able to find it yet. This piece of armored artillery is used by many other armed forces in addition to those of the US, so it is possible that some of the engines may have been upgraded in the last thirty years.
Ridiculous question. The M1 Abrams as a battlefield tank, is faster, more agile, and more accurate than a M109 howitzer. Both weapon systems have very different missions, and while the delivery system of the Abrams is exceptional, which would give it a head to head advantage, it does not fire the same ordinances as the M109, which has potentially far greater destructive power over greater distances.
The Suzuki M109 is usually sold for around $14,299 from most dealerships. However, it is possible to find used Suzuki M109s for around $12,000 to $13,000.

Yes, a howitzer is considered a type of heavy artillery. Howitzers are typically larger and have a shorter barrel than cannons, but they are still classified as heavy artillery due to their size and firepower. They are often used for indirect fire support in military operations.
