Will all this varies some depending on engines. Before working really hard it is best to let gas or diesel come up to a normal operating temp. Now that doesn't mean you can't put it in gear and drive it to the field or wherever. That just means it should warm up some before working it hard. As for shutting down that to depends on how hot the engine may be. If it has been worked really hard and temp is higher than it would be just raking hay or other light chores. On my diesels I let them idle at 1500 RPM's for about 1 minute, more if really hot, them I let it idle for another minute or a little longer at 800 to 1000 RPM's. I think if you just watch your gauge and wait until it as at a normal light duty temp it is OK. This is more important on turbo engines. I always heat and cool all my gas or diesel engines for a short time. I figure better safe than sorry.
