The manual says not to run full throttle for 50 hours. I've got 20 on it now and have been running it at 2-2200rpms. I'm using the loader to move heavy wet dirt. I figured the bucket would have the same power at the lower throttle setting and would just move slower due to the lower pump volume.
Wrong. I bumped it up to full throttle (3400) for one go and it had a lot more power. It curled and lifted with a lot more authority.
I guess my question is when did you fellows start running yours at full throttle? If the general consensus is that it's ok, and the manual is just over cautious and over lawyered, I'm going to finish the job at full power.

Edit... I seem to recall asking this Q once before, but can't find it. Hmmm.
