Simple question, I think.
Given the same load conditions on the PTO, what percentage of fuel usage would drop if you lowered your rpm's?
E.G. Running a Fertilizer Spreader at PTO of 540, then running it at around 350 rpm... 65%-70% throttle. Would you save 10% on fuel running at the slower engine speed? More? Less? Good idea to gear up and throttle down? Again, a pretty light load... not running a bushog.
Thanks
