In Reply to: What RPM do you use posted by jim ch on July 08, 2019 at 14:11:49:
550 Ford backhoe. 3 cylinder. I run between 1200 and 1300. Any more than that, the backhoe is too fast. I had to buy a new pump and I went from a 25 gal. per minute to a 32gpm. It will stall the motor at 1100 RPM. This 3 cylinder will use quite a bit less fuel than my bosses John Deere. His backhoe works best wide open. I can dig more feet per hour than he can, but he can load faster than me because he has more power than I do. I have to load in 1st gear if the dirt is hard, but he can load in 2nd gear, plus he has 4 wheel drive. A motor will get the best fuel economy at the torque peek, and less at the horsepower peek. Have fun with your backhoe, I enjoy running them. I should pay my customers, ha ha.
