Drew, make sure you stay out of that heat today!
:confused3: say what?
116 heat index at the moment, came in for lunch. Rototilled lot of veggie garden, looks much better now, then planted some cucumbers and moved some cantaloupes, which was a pretty sweaty affair. Then into the nice a/c Kubota cab and mowed roadsides.
Back now and have two hours of lawn mowing to do. Maybe if I go fast enough...…..
oh good, heat index dropped to 115. Must be a chill in the air.
drinking lots of sports drinks and water, and feel fine. At least the mower has a canopy and that keeps some of the heat down on a sunny day like today. Now this Kubota diesel mower has never ever gotten above two bars on the temp gauge, which seems cold, whereas the Kubota tractor always runs at four bars and today was at five bars, as expected under load with a/c in this heat.
Am very curious to see if I can finally get the Kubota F mower to run at higher temps. It seems to have excess cooling capacity.
If this isn't a test, nothing is. Can't get any hotter, and the lawn is getting up there. I'm just going to put it on cruise and go. I already trimmed with the smaller riding mower, so now I'm just doing the large open areas. Maybe I should try high range for the breeze.
