I am a tractor newbie. I have a nice new JD 1026R with the 60 inch autoconnect mid-mount mower. I mow about 4 acres of not so lush grass. What is the best RPM to operate the tractor while mowing? I've gotten 3 answers from the dealer (I think I bought the only 1026R that they've sold). I've been told: "Just high enough that is doesn't bog down", "2500 RPM", and "3000 RPM". Thanks in advance for your help!
