Here is what my MF 35 owners manual says about the PTO function. I suspect that the MF 150 is quite similar. "Engine PTO" is the standard or proportional engine-speed drive. With the engine at 1700 RPM, the PTO speed is 540 RPM.
"Ground PTO" is a proportional ground speed drive. The PTO turns one revolution for about each twenty inches of forward travel regardless of speed or gear. Ground PTO" is very useful with side rakes, lister planters, etc."
Hope this helps. I suspect that you can not use "Ground PTO" to get a higher (than 540 RPM) PTO speed) (unless you drive very fast). You could run the engine at a higher RPM (use "Engine PTO") and a lower gear (to keep the ground speed acceptable) to get more than 540 PTO RPM. For example, at an engine speed of 2000 RPM, the PTO speed would be (2000 / 1700) times 540 = 635 RPM. Good luck.
Note that the Nebraska tractor test for the MF 150 says that for the three cylinder Diesel engine, an engine speed of 1700 RPM is needed to get 540 PTO RPM.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
