I don't seem to have a fragile tractor, but I doubt that stalling at 1200/1300 RPM is any worse for it than running at 2600 and "powering through" a slipping clutch with a stalled implement on it.
I always run my stuff too slow too. It seems like you're doing it a favor because the noise level is lower, but you're not. The load on all the parts, right up to the pistons, is much more at lower rpm than when used at higher. It's a habit I wish I could break but my ears are shot, and they keep telling me to run slower.
