PTO Q

[repete]

I don't understand why such a big deal on using 540E or even 1000 RPM at less engine speed. For the OP to be running a 6 ft cutter behind a 25 HP tractor, clearly he is not mowing anything thicker or dense at all. If it was putting any sort of the load in the engine, pretty sure the OP would notice it as the engine would bog down quite hard.

I do so much work with 540E, even loading it down really good and had absolutely 0 issues. At 6400 hours, I don't think the OP had any issues either.

Appreciate your observation. I am only cutting very light material. I watch the temp gauge and never does it bog down with what I am cutting. I just do not like the loud noise for hours on end. I set the engine RPM at 1200 or so, make good time and relax.

I only ask that the engine make enough noise that I cannot hear my phone in my pocket ring.

I used to run the B7000 I had the same way more or less. Never really revved that engine too high. It had 3 speed PTO, 540/750/1000. I often worked in 750 with the engine running slower, which is essentially the 540Eco.

As to your original question, you won't find 1000 RPM PTO on any of these tractors in the 30 HP range, but you can find 540E (or some call it 750 at full engine RPM). Depends on the engine but typical slowers the engine RPM from 2500 for regular 540 to 1700 for 540E.
