LS SAYS A REGEN EVERY 2 HOURS IS NORMAL

Deezler, I normally run 1600-1700 when going firewood. Actually never operate less unless getting off and on changing an implement, moving something or wrapping a chain around something.

Still think I do not need to idle before shutting down?

Again, just my opinion, but at 1600 rpm of just driving around on flat ground carrying firewood, you're not working the engine much, and the exhaust/turbo shouldn't be all that hot to begin with. In such cases I tend to idle for just 10-20 seconds and then shut down, no harm at all in that approach. Granted, my Kioti is not turbocharged, so it's less relevant for me.

100% agree to that. I do the same.
