Depends on what tractor your running. The newer tractors run a lot lower RPMs than the older tractors.
Planting with my CIH 315 I run around 1600 RPMs. Heavy loads I'll run 1850-1900. Best fuel efficiency at this speeds.
Good rule of thumb is always gear up and throttle back. Just as long as your not lugging the engine.
How many RPM do you run when pulling heavy?
