when mowing highway right of ways in the south(florida), what gearbox would be best? 540 or 1000? going to be using JD 6615 100hp

No difference in the operation but when you go to sell or trade it a 540 cutter is worth more than a 1000 cutter because of the size of the market.when mowing highway right of ways in the south(florida), what gearbox would be best? 540 or 1000? going to be using JD 6615 100hp

True, but if you buy a cutter to use, not trade, and have 1000 RPM capability, that is a better option over time in terms of driveline component maintenence. 1000 RPM drivelines transmit more torque with less failure than a 540 driveline.
Since HP= Constant x Torque x RPM, I think you mean to say that the 1000 rpm pto will transmit the same horsepower as the 540 rpm pto with less shaft torque and therefore is easier on the pto shaft.
