Default RE: Engine Break In

How come you can take a new chainsaw from the box and immediately load it down to the max cutting down trees for YEARS without breaking it in ? Is the "load" from a wimpy little prop somehow worse than that ? Some of the small Husqvarna saws will happily turn 15,000 unloaded...8000 rpm is screaming ?
The Red Max shop manual says to tach a 62cc saw and make it rich enough to not turn over 13,500 unloaded
We turn our glow GT80s at 11,500 in the air...THAT's screaming...Props are 19x18 carbon...
From the Husky website...The max recommended rpm of the 3.2 chainsaw is 13,000
Wassamatter engine manufacturers, can't your cranks take it ?
