[logankelly]

Looking for speed of JD 2720 in low range at pto rpm. Had a hand held GPS but that was a couple years ago. going to seed and fertilize about two acres and need to make sure of the speed, If possible would like to go 4mph to match the rate chart on spreader

I have turf tires on my 2720. For me to go 4 mph I set the rpm's at 2200 and in low gear mash the peddle to the floor and put on the cruise control. 5 mph is reached with the same process and at 2700 rpm's. If you want to do it any other way, you will probably have to use a gps.
