Bought a house and the JD 145 automatic from previous owner. My question is, is it better to leave the blades running between short passes to do touch up mowing or should I shut it off. I always come to a full stop before engaging the PTO. In other words, I feel that there is more wear and tear going on with engaging and disengaging. Hope this makes sense. Thanks

For safety reasons always disengage, wear will be minimal.
