MF 1739 E 2019 Over heating at 30 hours no dust. I only drove it 10 minutes before it over heated.

The over flow reservoir is at the low line. My question is . Would the dealership sale me this brand new one already low on fluid's ? Or perhaps it's sprung a leak. Or maybe a recall I don'tknow about. Also what type anti freeze should I put back in it? I was going with same color. But figured I would ask.

I drive Ford Trucks. I guess they have spoiled me. Very little problems.
Thanks

Is the radiator full? Fan belt tight? oil? Should not over heat with a low over flow reservoir....

Turns out it was the DPF . This was the first time the tractor DPF cycled . I was not familiar with all the heat mostly hot smell affiliated with the process. I had called the shop , told them it was over heating. The mechanic said he'd never heard of the model over heating. He suggested it was likely the DPF , For those of you in Reo Linda that's Diesel Particulate Filter.
Well he was right .
The symbol on the dash looks like a puff of wind with a thermostat going vertically through it. That too may have contributed to my confusion.
I just thought I would let you all know what it was. Especially you new tractor owners.
Thanks

For sure, they get pretty hot smelling when the regen cycle takes place. My 1742 does it while working. Had me somewhat concerned one time while bushogging in tall dry grass, hot exhaust shooting at the grass.
