Questions about hydrostat usage methods
.
Just wondering what is considered the least abusive throttle and hydro lever setting for various tasks? For example, when I let my kids drive around the yard, I leave the throttle at an idle and let them move the hydro lever to full speed. Does this cause any harm to anything? 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? And last question, when using a moldboard plow, what is the best speed to travel at? As fast as possible? I watched the plow day videos posted and most seemed to be going pretty fast. Sorry for so many annoying noobie questions, but I don't want my ignorance of proper operating procedures to cost me any expensive repairs. .

You won't damage your hydro.
Best throttle setting is the one that is high enough to do the job. (I suggest WOT for mowing because you get the best cut.) Best speed is the one that does the job. Plowing is typically around 4-5MPH.

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.

Thanks guys, and J-Mech I read briefly an article written by you about hydrostat drive systems. I'll have to read it again when I'm not at work and I'll have time to absorb the information.

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.
