Interesting. You are seeing the light...
..... The dust and debris clogs up the radiator every time and I have to shut down and clean it all out before starting up again.
Not to be a smart butt, but is there a tractor that won't heat up with a plugged radiator?...or are you sayin' the mower kicks up trash differently on a deere?
Personally don't think they are any more special than any other, and definitely not worth the premium.Just trying to understand how you can blame a tractor for overheating when the radiator is plugged....
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
Don, I think your biggest issue is that you've outgrown your tractor. Your JD was fine for doing work around your well maintained property at your home. Hauling mulch, lifting axles, doing smaller tasks on an occasional basis. It is now being required to pull long shifts of reclaiming a larger parcel of land from years of neglect and mother nature's wrath. I'm not defending Deere, I think their smaller tractors are Frankenstein put together junk. They are built for suburban back yards and pretend hobby farmers. A step up to the 100hp class of tractor will provide you better quality parts and less stress on your tractor as you abuse it. Everyone gives you a hard time about being able to tear up a crow bar in a sand pile, but buying the right tool for the job is a big part of it. I say find a dealer you're comfortable with and then size the tractor to your work plus about 25%. I see the HP ratings on these tractors and am amazed at how they've gone up. HP goes up and physical size of the tractors goes down. A tractor that had 25-30hp years ago now packs over 60hp but not the supporting mechanicals to accomplish the work that 60hp can do. At least not for long. That's my contribution. Go as big as you can...
