What is the optimal revs on the tach when operating a front mount snowblower (BX2822) I've been using 2500 as my guide, but the PTO marking on the tach is 3200?

'optimal' ? can have different meanings to several people.
but.... and there's always a but.....
if the snow's dry, you can use less RPMs and save on fuel.
kinda like asking 'optimal' ground speed ?
one could say 'go as fast as you can, but as slow as you must'...
really there's a LOT of factors and since YOU are there, running the machine , YOU know best. IF 2500 gets the job done you ARE saving fuel from running at 3200.

On my BX2380 the 3200 mark is for the rear PTO. I can - and do - run the front at around 2500.
