I know all these opinions are confusing but two things are to be avoided, no load and high RPM. By high I mean anything above the engine torque peak or about 2/3 throttle.

The first few minutes are the most important, probably the first 15 are critical so these must be under medium load.

Run it up the hills in high gear at about half throttle, load but not lug. Turn it off downhill if your brakes are good and the hills are short.
Pulling a wagon is good if you can pull all the time but having the wagon push the tractor is not good.

Varying the speed under load is good but no load is not good.
