I have a JD 4940 with a New Leader dry box on it.  The operators manual says to operate full throttle in the field.  I usually dont run anything at full throttle.  When I got on JD  Operations center and view the machine analyzer data it looks like I am only operating at 35% load most of the time.  Why the need to run at 2250 rpm??  Can I just set it at 1850 and run along?

Thanks for any advice!



You can always try reduced throttle and see how it works.  I always ran our 4940 full throttle.  But we traded it for a JD F4365 with a New leader box and on those you can run reduced throttle on economy mode.  Same thing on the R series sprayers with Command drive.  Only thing I ran on reduced throttle and got away with it was on our 4830 sprayer.  Only reason I did it was because of the god awful noise.  But that was a sprayer and not a fertilizer spreader.
