I've just got a replacement tractor for my 484 (Case 4230) which has two speed PTO switchable from in the cab.
The digital dash has a readout of the PTO speed and I've found that if I select the 1000rpm PTO speed I can run the engine at 1200rpm to achieve 540 revs at the PTO. This works great as I'm using the tractor for finish mowing and I do not usually need lots of PTO torque, just the correct shaft speed.
My question is that is it OK to be running a diesel at a comparatively low 1150-1200rpm? It sure does save some fuel!
