RPM Question

[scootr]

PTO 540rpm is a recommended 2300 on my machine. I run 1500 min to drive around, 1800-2k for any light work.
I learned that higher revs result in more hydraulic power and longer intervals between regen.

for fel work, adj rpm to what will operate the the hyd flow to do the job. for earth or utility work, adj rpm that will do the task at hand without lugging engine, on the flip side, no need for excessive engine rpm unless needed

KIOTI Ck2610 - doing dirt work and lifting ibc totes of wood, what type of RPMs should I be looking at?

Retired tractor engineer here.

Power = Torque x rpm

The weak link on smaller tractors (especially with hst) is the transmission. High rpms dont hurt a thing. High torque is what causes wear and breakage. It is much better on your machine to error running high rpms during loading, lifting, ground engaging events to keep torque low. I run WOT when lifting my wood pods, mowing, and tilling etc.

For loader work on a non emissions tractor it really doesn't matter as long as you get enough to get ample fluid flow. It's really operator dependent and once you run it for a while you'll figure out your sweet spot. What fits everyone else may not fit you.
