Should I run full throttle ?
A buddy of mine has an Allis Chalmers tractor and was told not to run the tractor full throttle all the time because it's too much on the engine. My question is, should I be pull back on the gas as well? I have a 108 so a combo of gears and the throttle are being used to control my speed. I normally keep that throttle pulled back. Good / Bad?

These Kohlers were designed to run at WOT Which is right around 3600RPM during normal working conditions. The cool best at WOT also. Now just driving around the yard pulling a trailer or something I normally use quarter to half throttle. Mowing snowblowing or tilling I go wide open

Also these engines make max torque around 3,200 RPM's so if you are mowing grass or blowing snow and hit a tough spot, the rpms fall off to max torque - where you need it the most.

also with a gear driven tractor you have a little "wiggle" room. But with a hydro you definitely want to run WOT for proper cooling and for the hydro pump. I've heard of several people with "modern" LTs that ran half throttle, or even 3/4 and they burnt up the hydro pumps due to the fluids not moving properly.

When doing anything that works the motor (snowthrowing/blowing, mowing, tilling, etc) definitely run WOT. For putzing around, pulling a trailer, lawn sweeping, etc, use your best judgement. I usually run about half or so on my hydro's when not working them and maybe even a little less on my gear drive.

Please forgive me
 WOT = Wide Open Throttle? Thank you for the replies. Just didn't want to burn anything out and do something bad to the engine that I could have easily stopped. I never really noted anything in the manuals about this but still wanted to check best practice.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
