[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1528161, member: 25884"] I'm no mechanic, nor do I know alot about all that greybeard was saying.... but the first farmer that taught me to run a tractor and haybine, said that you had to run it at the rpm it called for, if that is what type of equipment you were running, and that if you needed to go faster, then the tractor gear could be changed and the rpm should be run where it needed to be. And if I was in very heavy thick stuff, then I needed to keep my rpm up and SLOW my ground speed by shifting down a gear. I don't know if that is right, but I do what I am told and if it is 540 rpm for the bush hog, then I try to run it at that and if it needs more fuel to get there, and is "too fast" traveling, then I drop a gear, and keep the rpm up and travel a little slower.
