Due to life being busy, being away for an entire weekend (Dover), and the late arriving Spring kicking everything into overdrive while I was away, I had to make 3 passes in certain areas to cut down the grass (grasses...

    Murphy's Law hit me hard this weekend.

    Help with PTO RPM calculation

    I'm new here and have a MT180D with a 3 speed PTO. It's mostly used to haul around a 60-inch Woods finish mower (540 rpm). 1st PTO gear makes 623 RPM @ 2700 (max engine rpm) and 540 rpm is marked off at 2340 engine rpm. So ~86-87%. Second gear (PTO) is rated at 919 rpm @ 2700 (max engine rpm)...
