What max engine RPM to use?

What would be max rpm to for CK30HST for transportation where speed is important, but without causing any problems or premature wear... I need drive a good amount snowblowing about 35 driveways. I usually go with about 2300rpm for road transport. It's never fast enough, LOL, but then again its a tractor, not a sports car /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I drove both my Kubotas and the neighbor's Oliver quite a bit on the road and always ran them at least PTO speed, and usually full throttle.

I run full throttle.
If I'm going down a steep hill where the weight of the machine pushing against the motor may try to overrun the engines governer (trys make the motor rev to high). I back off the throttle. Once a the bottom of the hill its back to full throttle.
