I just picked up a BX1870 that will basically just be a mowing machine. First thing I noticed is there is no mark on the tachometer for PTO speed. Downloaded an owners manual and unless I'm missing it, it's not in the manual. So what engine RPM gives the correct PTO speed?

Pretty much wide open minus a couple hundred works good

I run my 1860 at about 3000 rpm, sometimes less if it’s more weeds than grass.
