OK ... I only had 1 acre remaining to mow today. This would be enough, given the experience of the last few days, to get the engine over temp. I am happy to report ... I finished the entire acre without getting above the marked "normal" operation level :) I've attached a pic so you can see...

Yesterday, I replaced the air filter and blew out the radiator. There was quite a bit of crud in the fins. I'll get a chance today to see if it solves my problem.

I bought 20 "rough" acres to prevent a pot grower from setting up shop next to my property. It was bulldozed to clear trees and left as a complete mess. It is a mix of grass and every weed known to man. It is quite thick and average height at this time is about 18 inches. Everything is in bloom.

Haven't had a chance to check this as yet.

Checked it today. Knocked out enough dirt to plant a garden :) This will be on my list.

Temp scale is bracketed low/high and has 2 dots for normal operating range. My temp runs almost to the upper limit of the bracketed display ... just below HOT. The mower has only been used 2 seasons ... couldn't have hit more than a few hundred rocks! Not easy to get under one of these beast...

Good suggestion. Thanks. The screen(s) are clear. Kioti designed those so you can only remove one and shake it clean - unless you unhook an air hose. I modified mine with a Dremel so I can slide both of them out in the field.

DK50SEHST with Landpride mower RCR1872 I cannot keep the engine temp under control when brush hogging. I do have to say it's 98 outside right now :) I'm mowing in Low and have varied the RPMs from 1800 to 2400 - even raised the deck an inch or two and narrowed the mow bite to about 5 feet. It...

I have no need for hay - so I have others come cut/bale/haul out. The property, for me, is not about making money ... I am retired. All I want is for the grass to be cut. My goal is solely to bring in enough money to provide enough herbicide/fertilizer to make the grass desirable. This is...

I am sorry to hear that. We are all just one bad decision away from ruining our lives. My daughter made the biggest mistake of her life by choosing the wrong guy. I NEVER liked him. I told her, after the first meeting, to dump him because the furthest thing from his mind was opening her car...

Congratulations. I've always found smaller ceremonies - both weddings/funerals - to be preferable. Each of these events can easily be exploited via emotions and see many thousands of dollars wasted. Of course - each to their own. Above all else ... I hope your daughter has found a GOOD man...

If you don't remember "Mazeppa Pompazoidi's Uncanny Film Festival and Camp Meeting" you were never young!

The more I see the title of this thread - the more I want to correct the premise. "LITTLE" cars are killing Americans.

I went with a pole barn. 30x50x12 with 10' doors. Finished interior and fully insulated. $30k
