Kioti LK 2552 overheating, can I use water in a pinch?

The tractor died in the front of the property, then I heard the boiling. Popped the hood and saw the plastic resevoir tank was empty. Gotta move the tractor back to the barn until I figure out what type of coolant it uses. Will filling the radiator with water to move it be okay?

Same as deluting the anti freeze . using water to keep from damaging the engine seems a good idea.

G'day water will be fine but as an old fella told me once "if ya wouldn't drink it then don't put it in the radiator"

Thanks for the replies. I presume I just add directly to the radiator and not the plastic reservoir?
