They made the throttle handle to go wide open for a reason :D If I'm digging and need to move a lot of dirt quickly its wide open, pulling grade? Used to running it wide open so it stays wide open, throttle it down if I need to hear the ground guy.

lbx tech here, run the machine wide open unless you need to slow it down, i.e craning pipe etc, they are meant to run wide open during operation, better flow for the coolers etc
