To be honest SN, I also used to land in gnd idle until I had to go around with a fair load still on board, how bloody silly I was !

I heeded the advise of more experienced pilots and learned to bring the power lever through the gate on short final in order to reduce the thrust and increase the prop braking ( airborne) as desired/required.

It makes for faster turn-arounds when spreading/sowing and costs nothing in mechanical wear.
