I was reading a post at the lawn and tractor forum and there is quite a discussion about damage that might occur if you do not operatw your engine at the RPM's it was designed for.
Specifically for tractors that have hydro trannies. Some of the issues are about leaving the tractor at a higher idle so the hydro fluid keeps pumping and stays cool.
This sort of concerns me. I tend to idle down when not doing heavy work. Should I keep the idle up? There is a considerable difference in noise and fuel consumption.
Will I hurt anything operating the way I do?
