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 doesn't make any difference in the temp. Oil is good. Coolant is good.
Since Kioti saw fit to NOT mark the gauge with usable numbers - all I can say is it runs about 75% - 90% of scale. I've resorted to taking breaks but it's only minutes before the temp is running high again.
Any way to improve the cooling on this machine? Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks!
