Idle vs. Shutdown

Posted by ZachOH on August 23, 2006 at 23:19:50 from (216.40.88.98):

Hi everyone,
My grandpa always used to tell me it was better to leave our JD 4020, or Case 1070 idle as opposed to shutting them off, say if you were going in the house for lunch during the day. He said It used more fuel to start it than it did to leave it run. Anyone else ever heard that? Just curious.
Thanks.

Zach
