[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1528185, member: 5381"] Thanks for the replies. Reasons I asked are many but Butch mentioned one. The terrain is rough and and hilly and to get the speed correct sometimes is difficult. Two ranges and four gears is not quite enough to hit the sweet spot. Fourth gear in turtle is to slow. First gear in rabbit is to fast. Fuel consumption is another issue. The extra 500 RPM's needed to get to 540 uses quite a bit of fuel over days usage. I would like to have a tractor that would turn the 540 at a less RPM when it is okay to do so but there s not one in my future. I don't shred enough for it really to matter, just curious more than anything. I mowed some the ditches this morning before the rains came. Second gear turtle because it was rough and on a side slope. I needed every bit of the 540 rpm's power for this. Its a wonder how good a crop of Johnson grass I can grow in areas that are unavailable to graze. [/QUOTE]
