What about when a heavy load is present but a slow travelling speed is desired? Where is the best place for the throttle and hydro lever? Throttle high and lever set low or throttle set low and lever more forward?

Since power is a dependent upon torque and RPM, running at lower RPM will produce less power. If you need power to pull a heavy load, I think you should run the throttle high and hydro lever low. I don't know if there's any concern with air flow over the engine and cooling when running at idle for prolonged periods, maybe someone more experienced can chime in.
