Hi Bill,

I always heard "run a diesel hard and high but don't abuse it". Keep the RPM's up there, it doesn't have to be screaming, but it shouldn't be lugged down past say 2000R RPM on a modern tractor... As for running it hard, select the highest gear that will pull your load without lugging it down past 2000RPM. Just make sure you don't abuse it, keep an eye on the temp guage and the pyrometer.

God bless and have fun!

Pawel
