Can anyone tell me the rational behind running a small lawnmower engine at full throttle?? Seems everywhere I go I see people running their lawn tractors full throttle when only cutting 1 inch of grass....why?? I'm from the old school and only use as much throttle as I need to get the job done without using extra fuel and putting all that wear and tear on a small air cooled engine. My small 8 hp Wheelhorse thats 20+ years old can mow the same amount of grass with the guy running around his city lot with his 23 hp tractor running at 3800 rpm while he's wasting fuel and such. Seems like a waste to me. Everyones comments are appreciated. Best regards, Mark in hot Buffalo
