[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1621730, member: 27848"] I always used the "lug" factor, implement up to down, and keep it below a decrease of 5 or so percent of PTO rated hp, never over 10. Reasons all over in publications about wear and poor economy as the lug factor increases. On PTO equipment, I check the owners manual for the implement and even then I seldom run PTO if I am getting good results at 90% PTO speed. Not uncommon to use the draft control on a large plow, adjusting depth for that factor. I'm a STO and run a fair amount of '60s to 70's equipment and I seldom have breakdowns. On most of the times I have had such, it was my pushing to finish what I was doing and it cost me, wasn't the equipments fault.....I'm learning $$$$. [/QUOTE]
