I live in s.e. tn. we have heavy clay here mixed with some rock . I use a subsoiler yearly in the garden to loosen the ground. What I have done is to strap 2 20 kilo suitcase weights to the frame so it does not skip across to ground, it will bury to the horizontal frame of the subsoiler quickly. I go about every 2 ft. when subsoiling the ground. If you do what I have done make a place where you can strap it to a large post or tree for when you disconnect it, it will be very top heavy a real toe crusher. My father in law plowed in electrical uf cable with one with out the cable shoe, He went over it once without the cable then went over it pulling the cable , I think it plowed at 12 inches. But he did not have my subsoiler with the weights. I got my subsoiler at tractor supply it is a king kutter. Look at several if you can there is some differences in how heavily they are built. Oh I pull mine with a 50 hp 4 wheel drive tractor the 20 hp 4 wheel drive I have will not pull it well in the soil here.
I would be tempted to use something like assembly lube on critical mating surfaces just in case you end up running it a little longer than you would have wanted to.
I would be tempted to remove the front drive driveshaft as a quick test that would isolate the front end but the drive line to it would still be active. But if it is magnified to the point you can feel it only under load this might not tell you much., but it might too.
I got one of those 12 volt heaters and they do not put out much but with that said anything is better than nothin. I think any type of cab would help more , just keeping the wind off makes it easier to stay warm.
I might have miss spoke 2400 is most likely max rpm and take 80 percent of that to get around 540 , it should be in the manual . I know the 50 hp quanchi and 92 hp perkins engines I have has no problem running at 2400. My 20 hp has no tach. the dealer said max it out then back it off some , he said they are governed on the low side of where they could run. I know it is apples and oranges but look at what the diesels are running at now,3000 is nothing. It is all in the engineering.
putting around 1500 or so, anything using pto 1800 to 2000 to maintain good blade speed cause really correct rpm to achieve 540 pto rpm would be around 2400 . remember do not lug the engine use a lower gear and bump up the engine rpm for wanted ground speed.
