The worst thing to do to a tractor is "baby" it. The engine is designed to "work" and light loads are undesirable and result in things like oil consumption and blow by as rings don't seat, etc. On the other hand, one does not want to lug the engine either.
I think each tractor has it's own "sweet spot" mine just sounds like it likes 1900 to 2100 RPM's best.
A popular misconception.
Do you have credible sources for this ?
