I've Been mowing for 25 Hrs on my new BX 2200 at full throttle and then I read the manual. How bad is this? I would also like to buy a bush hog, any suggestions? Thanks-Babb

I wouldn't worry too much--it's done now. The engine probably will work fine over a normal life span. It may burn a little more oil than normal. ....

The main thing I've heard about breaking in an engine is don't do any one thing for very long at a time. Frequently varying the rpm and throttle is good. I believe that some break-in procedures recommend avoiding sustained high rpm's for awhile. However, I'm not sure anybody says that 'babying' an engine during break-in is good for it. I've heard that periodically running full throttle is good for injectors, but I haven't heard that as a part of engine break-in. I'd have to believe the sales person that no break-in rpm restrictions are applied. I am curious about the logic of using high rpm's to 'break-in' the injectors. ....
