All the more reason you should have a cvt, so you have an infinite number of "gears".
I wished I had a slider like on the dash or something to push in or pull out that varied the ratio.
I use to play with tractors back in the day and it was a trade off between setting the engine speed for load and any pto attachments, then the gearing for the right speed.
I have a troy bilt bronco lawn tractor with cvt. I for the most part set the engine to slow and work the petal for fast or slow. I am really adjusting the governor for the throttle, so if it starts to load or bog up it throttles up to maintain rpms. When it comes to cutting grass I throttle up a quarter, engage the deck and give it less petal to go slower.
