I've been waiting forever to have the extra $ to purchase a Tiny Tach. I was finally able to order one 2 weeks ago.

I finally got a chance to work on the 1450 over the weekend. I set the throttle at 3600 RPM no load with the tiny tach. I noticed when I engage the PTO with a 44A deck mounted, the RPM (at WOT) would drop to around ~3000. Does this sound about right? If one has a tach available - would it be harmful to allow "room" at the top end for the extra 600 RPM? Ex. set the throttle at 3/4 WOT for 3600 RPM, so that with deck engaged the WOT would permit the extra 600 RPM?

Thanks for any thoughts,
