Whose tractor has a speed chart/scale?

My "modern" (?) JD 870 has such a chart on the fender.

^^^^ Same as my M5640

My 1959 Ford 641 has a Sherman (3 range ) transmission. It has a proofmeter showing speed with respect to selected range, gear and rpm.

Most gear drive tractors have chart/graph or a speed in gear indicator. My hydrostatic Kioti has a speedometer.

I use the GPS on my phone for spraying.

I spray and seed. But like you, I looked in my manual and it gives speeds for L,M,H and I calibrated my sprayer and seeder for L and M at PTO speed. Having the actual speed displayed would be sort of nice though.

If you do a lot of spraying and depending on method of seeding this would be the way to go.

If your doing small acre plots surrounded by trees disregard my suggestion.

My 2 MF563s have a chart on the fender for the speed range in each gear.
However the speed chart and all the safety warning stickers have faded/worn badly.
Both 2007 model with a little over 700 hours each.
The MF stickers looks new, paint faded some even though they are inside the vast majority of time.
Just shows their priorities I guess.

My grandfather's Massey Ferguson 35 had the speed chart on the tachometer. I don't recall it being useful for work we used it for. That was over 50 years ago...really, am I that old?

I have a 1958 Ferguson TO-35 and it has the tach and speed deal, but doesn't work. They didn't become Massey Ferguson

until the following year even though they were owned by Massey. This tractor used to be my uncle's, which I used many

times when I was a teen.

My Kubota M6040 has readouts for travel speed, engine rpm and PTO rpm. The only one I consistently use - PTO rpm.
