It is fine, I think, to run it in the upper range of the green. That is where the little arrow points to on the gauge. And that is where mine runs when I'm working it hard. I have never once had a problem with it going into the red range. You will stall the motor before you work it that hard. And I have worked them pretty hard - constant heavy field draft lugging it down to about 1200 rpms when its supposed to be 1540 or so. It never has any problem with cooling. The heaviest running I do with ours is pulling a twelve foot disk in fourth gear in freshly plowed fields. A harrow is no problem at all. I pull a large one in fourth gear, and the motor doesn't even hardly notice it.
