DB Tracks - 6/12/2017 17:47 Our 320 at 2200 rpm,s would run along just fine until got in a tough spot and lugged below 2000 rpm, then it would fall fast, most of been set different then yours. We had 325 with 3406 at the same time, it would lugged down to 1500 rpm or lower and bounce right back. Dan

That's the  benefit of  having one  in a  MF 4000 series tractor.    Ya got  3 speed power shift, and  I normally run in   2nd low,  and  in  intermediate on the  multipower.  .

@ 2400 rpm,    I'm running  5.5-5.6  pulling the  disk,  pulling down 1 gear gets me to  5.0..   I haven't had a  tough spot  yet  that required further shifting.    When it's that tough,  I'll run   1st high and  max out the  powershift to  high...  usually  4.5-4.6

I have to admit,  I'm running  a little hotter  tune than original.    When I bought it  10 years ago,  it was set for  430hp.    I dialed it back  to 360,  and   I have  no  worries  about exhaust temps anymore.   I could routinely  hit  1250-1300..   now I can't get it over 1100. (pre turbo temp)

I usually  set the throttle for about  2400-2450  no load,  and   most of the time it's cruising along  at 2200-2250 under load.
