Default Re: To idle to not to idle

"Avoid Idling Engine

Allowing engine to idle at low rpm uses fuel inefficiently, and can cause a buildup of carbon in the engine.

If tractor must be left with the engine running more than three or four minutes, minimum engine speed should be 1200 rpm. "

This is directly from John Deere's owner manual for the 5425.
