I can't offer anything on tractors, but here's a story that might offer some insight. Back in the late 80's, we installed new gas compressors at one of our gas fields in Louisiana. We replaced a very old Fairbanks Morse compressor with two Ingersol Rand compressors with Waukesha natural gas engines. I don't recall the specifics, but probably in the range of 500 hp each. We did not need each one running all the time, but we needed backup to make sure we always had one in service. They were designed to run at ~1250 rpm. In the first 6 months of use, we had all kinds of reliability problems, high maintenance costs, etc. from both units. It seemed like we had a service man out almost every week. We were about ready to send them back and go with something else. They finally sent out a old service guy who looked over the situation and told us that the problem was that although we were running them within specs, they would not hold up despite what the salesman had told us. He advised us to run both at the same time at 800 to 900 rpm and we'd have no more problems. He was right, our reliability went way up and the maintenance costs went down to normal routine maintenance items.
