Last year I bought a Ford 4000 diesel for a little bit more heavy-duty work, Like bushhoging and plowing. I have found that my tractor(for PTO work) runs better at about 100 RPM's higher than the rated engine RPM's for 540 PTO, So instead of 1,800 rpm's for 540 pto rpm's I like to run 1,900 rpm's. Also this is the 8 speed tranney so I run in low 2. Now if I'm scraping a road or something, I use whatever rpm's are needed
