John Deere said my naturally-aspirated 4045 80-horsepower engine shouldn't be run at idle speed longer than five minutes. Didn't specify whether engine was under load, but I don't anticipate a problem running at idle with engine warmed and under load if engine temperature is maintained. Besides, cannot maintain "no-wake speed" if without minimal RPMs.
