As far as I know to achieve true 540 RPM PTO speed on the 4100 JD you need to run the engine RPM at real close to max. as indicated on the tach approx. 2500 Rpm has a yellow line that indicates proper engine RPM for PTO use. I had the engine running at 1700 or just above idle as this provides plenty of power for the 6st with the pump I have. I would think on a bigger tractor you would run higher RPM as the machine weight would compensate for the additional power. Any more info would be helpful. My JD dealer is dealing with Hardy to try to get it covered under warrenty. I am not only looking to fix the cylinder but to prevent this from happening again.
