One of our operators keeps running our 5600 at half throttle. Will this foul the turbo?

What RPM is "half throttle"? Personally, I run my equipment at whatever rpm needed to get the job done without "LUGGING" the engine. (usually 1700 to 2200)Turbo fouling is usually a result of underloading the engine, or excess idling.

I don't know the RPM's, but can tell it is not at full power.

Half throttle doing what?

Our 5610 Series F idles at just over 1200, and I think max is 2800, so half is 2000.

I told my wife to run 1800rpm, Hi-Flow with the 7' brush hog. It has plenty of reserve power to go up small hills when mowing.

Same here on any machine I run.

Same here. It's very rare that I run any machine at "rated" rpm. I've never had any issues with turbos sooting up. Somewhere around half throttle seems to be my sweet spot.

A diesel engine is built to run WOT 24/7 . I have started backhoes , excavators at -0 and as soon as they catch rev them up . Get them hot and quit ******* around with all this (HOW MANY RPM ) QUESTIONS . A diesel engine runs on heat , combustion , not a ******* sparkplug . I have cranked these engines in the middle of the night ,0 below and never had an issue . I see 20 ? Aday about this warming up thing . It is not going to warm up until you work it . DONE .

Are you recommending immediately going full throttle on a cold started engine in 0 degree temps?
