Probably dumb question but does the 540 PTO have a min and max rpm range. Pulling my batwing up and down hills the motor rpms change and therefore so does the PTO
I'll have to check that when I mow this week. Recently it's been working well in HI range. I find myself toggling between Turtle and Rabbit. With the throttle set to whatever RPM it is for the blade speed desired, HI Turtle can be a bit slow at lower RPM's. One short but steeper hill needs MED Turtle to prevent bogging down.chim, of course there can be many variables in mowing. The type of grass, how thick it is, how tall and how much is being remove. Then there is the different type of mowers and blades.
But for the rpms you quoted what kind of ground speed are you running?
Mowed late this afternoon. Grass was quite tall and thick. Engine RPM's were around 2000, PTO was running 416 and speed was 6 MPH for most of the time. I did drop back to HI Turtle on a couple hills. Shaky pics below.chim, of course there can be many variables in mowing. The type of grass, how thick it is, how tall and how much is being remove.
