[QUOTE="500K_773, post: 130, member: 33"] I wasn't planning on running it at such a low RPM, just thought that since the most torque was made there it would make sense that the engine would be least likely to stall. But that would be in a direct drive application, not a hyrostatic drive application like a skidsteer. The horsepower curves flattened out in both engines about 200 RPM from max, so I was thinking that running the engine a couple of hundred RPM below max would reduce some engine wear and fuel consumption. In fact, one of the mechanics and the dealership told me there was no need to run it at max, just a couple of hundred RPM below max. I have a tendancy to my just about max anyway because during the course of the day, the engine bleeds off about 50-75 RPM, I think the throttle lever may vibrated back a little. [/QUOTE]
