Good evening and please excuse the lack of knowledge on my part. I recently purchased a TO30 tractor. I plan on using to brush hog and maybe plant a food plot or tow. It came with a 60 inch finish mower and a 60 inch brush hog. The person I purchased it from drove it to my property where I am going to use it (about 10 miles from his place). I printed out an owners manual and am going to order the shop manual. The tractor is converted to 12 volt, has new radiator, hoses, etc. I guess my question is going to be around gear and engine speed. If I am just brush hogging or mowing ive read conflicting ideas. Is there a preferred gear and rpm? It is flat land so no hills. Is there a article I can read up on it. I found one that stated if I was in too low of a gear and to high rpm the engine would sputter as well as too high a gear and low rpm. Sorry if it seems elementary and thansk for any insight.
