Now I've just recently read parts of the good ole NH Class III DA manual on the Break-in procedures and they sound about like every other break-in procedure for any other engine.
However I have a few questions regarding their procedures. Where it says, "avoid continuous operation at constant engine speeds while pulling heavy loads or without a load on the engine."
Here's my situation. The first thing or real work I'm planning on doing besides playing around on the tractor when it arrives is to bush hog about 7-acres of open field along with using the front end loader to pick up and clear out some wood piles and Locust posts that I've been populating since the end of December.
My Question: Would I be voiding the Break-in procedures by bush hogging a 7-acre field considering I'll be operating at a continuous constant speed? I’m not considering (at least I don’t think), that the bush hog(632lbs) is a heavy load for a TC45DA so I myself don’t think I’m voiding the break-in procedures but, would like to here some experienced suggestions from you all. Thanks!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
