I agree with that. Some diesels can be run for long periods at low RPM but other's will slobber worse than a dozen St. Bernards and can actually get glazed up where they won't rev up. Cat 3200 series are an example of engines that shouldn't idle for long periods. I've seen an IH 966 that slobbered like a pig too from too much idling. The other problem you run into is the engine not getting to proper operating temperature. Not good for a diesel. That's why most diesel trucks have a hand throttle to speed them up so they warm up and stay warm. Diesels need to work and if the injection pump is working properly, it will act as a governor. Diesel gensets don't have special governors added that I know off. The throttle on a tractor might creep though.
