How to set constant PTO speed on T6.180

I need to set a constant PTO speed on our 2022 T6.180 for fert spreading and drilling, without the snazzy screen or Ground Speed Management feature.

Is it just a case of starting the PTO at required speed (e.g. 540) and then pressing the PTO mode button on the joystick?

I can't find it in the manual or on the PLM videos.

Thanks in advance

Have you a classic or sidewinder armrest? If it's a classic the 2 rocker switches you need are towards the right of the row beyond your right elbow. Even then, there are 2 subtlety different setups. Need a picture, really.

For those not so initiated, am I right in thinking that this function means the computer will change forward speed in response to PTO speeds? I.e. it involves the use of a CVT transmission which is altering the settings to maintain engine RPM and thus PTO speed in response to changes in load?

It's just an engine speed preset (x2). Nothing fancy. No doubt an autocommand has a mode to do as you suggest.

I will have to test if the hand throttle does similar. I suspect so, but obviously doesn't remember anything.

I think so, but the Ground Speed Management feature is a step up - you can select forward speed and maintain PTO speed, but this is more basic - maintains PTO speed but not necessarily forward speed
