1. An off highway vehicle, comprising: a chassis; an engine carried by said chassis; and a controller in communication with said engine, said controller being configured to execute an engine idle control method that includes the steps of: detecting a static load on the engine; detecting a dynamic load on the engine; determining if said static load is below a predetermined static level; determining if said dynamic load is less than a predetermined range; engaging an auto-idle feature dependent upon both of said determining steps; disengaging said auto-idle feature if either of said determining steps are not true; and returning an engine speed of the engine to correspond to a throttle setting when said disengaging step determines that at least one of the determining steps are not true.
