BX2670 rpm

[kubota4me]

I have a BX2670 with a 60" standard mower deck. What rpm is it generally recommended to mow at? Thanks!

Wide Open.

I agree. Wide open.

Wide open. But if you get over some dirt or dusty areas don't be afraid to back off the throttle, then throttle back up again when you are back on grass.

At least 2500-wide open. It may just be me but when I engage the pto, Im at idle, then ramp it up. I also ramp it down before I disengage.

That is what you are supposed to do. Never, ever, ever start a PTO at WOT. It's like doing a clutch dump. Start off slow, then move to full power once everything is up to speed. Plus it is more forgiving if something goes amiss.

According to my manual the MMM and rear PTO have slightly different 540 ranges, one is 2900 and the other is some odd number like 3025 or something like that. There is so little difference between the 540 and WOT, to make no real difference. The manual addresses RPM during break-in, but not much after that. My 2003 BX2200 had no tach, so I just pegged it and its still running great.

Normally around 2800 or 3000 if the grass is high/wet.

Another vote for 2500 minimum, I generally run between 2500 and 3000, I was told it is a stationary engine and they perform best at the max.
