It's hot here in Texas. Mid to upper 90's. Have been doing some mowing, a couple of hours at a time. Nothing real heavy. When I got finished, I was brushing some grass off the transaxle and noticed it was extremely hot.
My son put the BH on yesterday to dig a trench and the oil got extremely hot again. You can't put your hand on the axle or FEL lever head, etc. for more than a second or two.
Is this normal. I didn't notice that it got this hot when I was doing some tilling, but it was a lot cooler then.
Also, this recent work has been after the 50 hour service. I bought the oil(Promax brand, dealer recommendation) and filters from my dealer. The tractor is a DK45 with 70 hrs.
Uh-Oh, got a honey-do call. check back later /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
