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.

This unit was equipped with an 11 HP Honda engine with fuel shutoff, adjustable flow and optional syphon degreaser dispenser. It didn't have a pressure release or electric start to facilitate easy starting but according to the instructions, simply pulling on the trigger while cranking was sufficient. This method of starting proved more than adequate and kept the cost down on the unit. It had all the important
