and tried a 1.25 inch spade bit on a white pine 2x4. I had the drill speed on 1750rpm. The wod smelled like it was burning and I could feel the heat coming from the wood. Also, much of the waste was like a dust instead of shavings.

Was the speed too high? I thought spade bits needed to be run on a high speed. I tried different amounts of pressure on the bit to see if that made a difference, but it really didn't.

I've never had that problem when using a forstner bit.

you should be down to about 200 rpm for that size bit, only that fast on anything less than 1/4" and then that is still way to fast, a 1/2" hand held drill will be between 5-600 rpm with 3/8" about 750 rpm, my 3/8" cordless says 700 rpm. I have a floor model 5/8" chuck or can use tapered shank bits and never had off slowest speed as that is still to fast for most work, the best for slow speeds for large bits is my old hand crank post drill that depending how much energy and how fast you feel like cranking but normall cranking speed would be about 100 rpm, slow enough that you can actually watch the cutting edge work

For my use, your drill speed was way too high. I run my press at about 600 RPM for anything over 1/2 inch.

Sounds to me more like the bit was dull.

Fawteen is on it. That bit is dull. You should be getting big chips. The bit needs to see a fine grinding wheel, easy to do.
