Whose tractor has a speed chart/scale?

[masscity]

I already posted that my L3540HSTC-3 had a speedometer, but I've only used a few times. I wanted to see how fast it is

on the road in high range high, which was 15 mph. Once I was blowing very hard, deep drifted snow and I was only doing

.5 mph. Situation like that I wish I had some more power. If I would have gone up one frame size, it wouldn't fit in some

areas here and I would have to shovel those and that idea is not going to work.

I remember as a kid, all the old tractors had a speed scale/chart as part of the tachometer. You looked at what gear you were in and looked for where the tachometer needle was on the chart.

My Kubota L3800HST doesn't have one, which I assume most hydrostatic tractors don't. But what about a modern gear tractor and some of the various other gear/drive configurations? Do they still have a speed chart?

My Mahindra 2555 cab & TYM 1003 has a chart on the window that shows H, M, L/ (1-4) etc range applications & speed for each gear in each range. Thought that was pretty much standard anymore.

My LS gives the mph on the dash. it is down in the lower corner. You have look for it, but it is there.

For field work such as spraying and fertilizer,I made some pocket-sized cards, laminated them and keep one in my pocket when needed.

Most tractors are woefully inadequate plus list only a 540 PTO arrow and then rated speed RPM. Those are two different MPH speeds so my card separates the two. These are gear tractors.

Here's the card


On the L4300 for example, the PTO speed is 95% of the engine rated speed so I did the math and now know how fast I am going in any given gear at 540 PTO. Next month I'll spread fertilizer and get what I want and where I want and than would not be possible without knowing my correct speed.

I can't remember how I did the math but it should be easy to figure out. Plus I have posted it on the TBN a year to two back.
Wait, here's the thread and it starts with my question and discovery and a resolution. FYI

My DK45 has one on left side of cab frame. I dont use it though, i use my gps

All my Kubota tractors had such a range chart in the manuals. They are of little use to me due to the varying slopes on my acreage. All the newer Kubota's have speedometers, which I use instead.

For precise chemical application, I use GPS with RTK augmentation.

My 89' Ford 1720 4wd has the chart on top of the fender. Never used 4th but haven't roaded the tractor since owning it.

5145 has chart on fender
I use it to help deciding what range depending on where I am mowing

Both my M9's have that sticker as well. Speeds in gears according the indicated RPM.

The DK4520 has a sticker of the gear/rpm/speed chart on the right fender. It was useful for maybe the first 10 hours of operating. Now I just know what gear to be in depending on the job that needs done.
