What is the factory recommended idle RPM for a L5240 HST? Because I companied about engine surging my dealership set idle up to 950 rpm to mask the problem and billed me $40.95 for their trouble. My tractor has less than 51 hours and is still under warranty.

My B7500HSD idles around 950 rpm, My B5100 does not have atachometer but I would say it probably idles a little lower but not much.

My L5740 idles at 900. A little faster than I like for a low idle but I have to cut a locking wire to change it so I will wait for a while to do that.:D
