Pulling a load. Airens Xd 52” 23 hp Kawasaki

Is it required to be in full throttle even when pulling light loads such as a spreader which loaded weighs less than 80 lbs?

Quickest way to destroy a hydro drive is to run it under load at low engine speeds

Thank you. I had read that but didnt know if a spreader was enough load to worry about

Just your own bum is enough load to worry about
Even throtteling down to drive into a trailer is bad practice.
