I run the lowest rpm's that I can get the job done with without creating black smoke. That's usually 1,100-1,500 rpm's for general loader work, 2,000-2,500 for required PTO speed work like the chipper, and snow blower. If you're puffing continuous black smoke, you aren't combusting well and need to drop a gear and bring up the revs to make more HP.
But for sure, for almost all tasks, lower rpm's burn less fuel, and that's a good thing
