Gleaner F2 harvesting RPMS?

StrongsOlivers · Oct 26, 2015

I was just wondering what the engine rpm should be when harvesting?
Any thoughts

Around 2400 RPM IRC

As I recall, my F2 diesel was 2300. I wrote it right in the middle of the tach. so I wouldn't forget. Also, as I recall, they were apt to run the gas engines a different speed. That was annoying because engine pulleys were different between the two so there was no interchanging. I would have thought for the sake of 100 RPM's one way or the other money could have been saved by not producing so many parts.

So full throttle? Because engine teach doesn't work yet. Oh and it the 6 cylinder diesel.

Yes, the machine is designed to operate at full throttle.

Absolutely, combines are designed to only operate at full throttle while combining. Governor can be set for the right rpm, but you use full throttle all the time while in the crop.
