Since When does the cab Tach Read Rear Beater speedIJ My Tach says Cylinder Speed and yes, it is about 10% out. There is an adjustment screw to calibrate it against a hand Tach but I just can't get around to doing it. As far as I know, the rear beater would be off speed only if the motor is off speed or, the main drive belts off the motor are so old they slip and that is not too likely on a no load situation.
