i recently recieved my 4010 the delivery mechanic said while operating to just keep the throttle wide open. my question is if i am just mowing my field with average height grass do i have to keep it wide open . i do not want to put extra wear on the diesel but ido not want to operate the rpm too low. any suggestions greatly appreciated. thank you ahead of time. p.s i never had a diesel tractor. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

When I mow with my 4010, I generally keep it just under max throttle--usually just at or below the 540 RPM indicator.

For all other uses, I generally run in the low to mid 2000 RPM range.

Eventually you will get a feel for when more is needed.

Run the mower at the rated RPM for the PTO. This will be indicated on you Tach. This may not be 'wide open' throttle but just slightly below it. The engines are designed to run all day at this RPM and it is needed to get the best performance from your mower.
