[QUOTE="A.G., post: 6575, member: 71"] Yes, when I need full hyd responce. For example, when using a grapple to demo, and I want explosive, destuctive force, quick tool/loader positioning, a fast dump or open tool when I reach the debris box. Also, my auger works best at full throttle more hyd flow is my guess. I traded my backhoe attachment (709) but it worked just fine practically idling along. Otherwise, it cruises around on 1/2 to 3/4 throttle. If I am around people working on the ground, I always throttle way down. Many of them don't realize that the loaders are hydrostatic and associate a high revving tractor with speed. They are afraid of being run over, by a louder revved up machine. You can spook them into an accident, like a fall by scaring them. The whole issue of cooling down a turbo depends on exaust temperature. Not the water temp, but exaust. If you are working it real hard, at full throttle, a casual ride back to your pick up or shop will provide some time for the turbo to cool down. If you just fire it up to unload a few pallets, the turbo did not get hot enough to require anytime to cool down. But if I was working the tar out of it, I might let it idle a bit before shutting down. .02 A.G. [/QUOTE]
