This may be a dumb question but does the tractor have a rev limiter? (I'm going to try to ask Kioti but they are usually not too helpful. They repeat what's in the manual).
I was driving my tractor up a hill (on road) and advanced the throttle to rev at the PTO arrow (2600 rpm) When the hill leveled out and going got easier I looked at the Tach and I was turning almost 3,000 rpm. I throttled down and had no problems for the rest of the day. But I've noticed under load the RPM drop and I wasn't sure if the throttle stop is set to limit revs to safe levels or if there is a rev limiter like my cars have.
Also, would I have more power to the rear wheels if I operate in 2 wheel drive. On the level I can move snow and snowbanks in high range until it gets real deep. I thought if I changed to 2wd I might have more power to the rear.
Thanks in advance.
