Um.. how does it do if you rev up that engine to say 2000?

well not sure but not sure why i would want to go that high as PTO speed is just 1850. Is there a particular reason why you ask? I basically ran the rpms around 1400 when i was trying to lift the front of the tractor last time. At idle it will not do it but anything above idle seems to work ok.

apparently I skipped a page, and missed where you got the loader working well by reviing it up a bit. sorry.

Yeah I have never operated a loader before and dumb enough didn't think about needing enough engine rpm to the move the pump fast enough to build hydraulic pressure. Anyway just a little over idle does fine and 1400 rpms and up kicks butt. I absolutely love this tractor. Its a amazing machine.
