I know it's not good for them, but we all know it happens.(quoted from post at 09:20:25 09/16/20) Royse-It is not good for any engine,new or old,gas or diesel, to just idle around all day and hardly ever get a work
out.Diesels will take the abuse better,but idling around is pretty much the worst thing you can do for an engine.I am not
saying don't idle your equipment,in cases like you are talking about,you have to,but if you want the engine to last long,I
suggest getting it up to temperature before parking the tractor.You have to look at it this way-When idling,there is an excess
of fuel that's not being burnt,which creates soot in the engine,and no longer burns clean like the engine is supposed to.I
have always been told,one hour of idling,is equal to two hours of driving.
