only after WORKING HARD... do you need the cool down.
In plowing or working under HEAVY load... RARELY will i just turn it off where it sits... I raise the plow... throttle down and drive back to the barn. As I never leave equipment in the field.. NEVER... so.. as I ease back to the barn, near air, water and electricity and fuel, the engine and turbo have ALREADY cooled down.
NEVER leave it in the field... why.. because,, if it rains, the tractor is stuck for a week and I need it sooner. Due to thorns every where in already in my tires, I might come back and find a flat.. EVEN if for lunch or a quick break. And in some cases the tire bead will be broke... So now I have a major problem. SOme of the equipment requres removing an axle or drive shaft to remove the rim.....
Fuel, Oil, water, air and grease.. I always check the tractor each morning for fuel, fluids, air, and grease equipment... all of which is makes it last longer and prevents breakdowns. I am quickly able to make in quick adjustments, and repairs then. I can catch a lot of minor problems and fix them then. AND some druggy has NOT stolen my battery or tires off the tractor and equipment left out of sight. I have had carburetors, batterys, and tires stolen of tractors.
So,, unless your remote working, its very very rare to just shut down a tractor right in the middle of the field.. And if I do get an emergency call, I can idle down, take the call and by the time I have hung up, the temps have dropped from peak to normal. egts are down to 600 or below.. no longer at 1300 degrees... all in a few minutes of NORMAL driving back to the parking space or barn..
So many people misunderstand the idle down sequence and leave their engines running and annoying every one around them. Most city slickers never pull a load to even get to high egt or peak oil temps... even by the time you exit the expressway, your egr and oil temps are already down below peak. Especially on a EMPTY truck or lightly worked tractor.
Again,, most understood what "under heavy load" cool down means...
Drives me crazy when all the beer c00lboys pull in to the convenience store or filling station and leave their "Coolboy Cadillac" running, no mufflers, and jacked up tires looking like a "pregnant rollerskate". They all say "well the book says....."
Only thing good about coolboy cadillacs is that they sell them every two years so I can buy their almost new HD diesel trucks really cheap, and bring them back to factory. I pull all the crap off them, and make a profit selling it on craigslist. I even dump the 1000 buck ranch bumpers off of them and go back to stock bumpers. 400 lbs off the frontend and more load capacity for me to haul with.
