Mowing Radiator filter on JD2038R

[beenthere]

I also wondered about the "multiple", but decided meant "multiple" models.

Regardless, making a screen to do the job should be doable for most.

When I get the tractor delivered I will get a picture uploaded so everyone can see.

Good , I believe you that it does not have one , I just can't believe that JD would do it that way makes no sense ....:confused3:

The JD 2025R built in Feb 2015 has a screen in front of the radiator.

I cannot find this tractor with the three radiators in a row in jdparts. Maybe two are oil coolers.

Where is the OP Sl2305 located? Some reference to European tractors in jdparts.

Beenthere,

You are correct, two of the radiators are oil coolers. For reference, I live in Southern Illinois. I don't think this is a European issue.

My 2720 has a rad screen but not very much is collected by it. The screen in the grill collects the majority of it. When I have the ruff cut mower on in the late fall to mow the water way in the field, I need to clean the grill occasionally but the rad screen is good until the job is done.

My 2305 was the exact opposite. Everything made it through the grill and was stopped by the rad screen.

Bigtiller,

Do you know if the grill was different on the 2720 over the 2305? Maybe a newer grill does a better job at filtering than the 2305?

My guess is the screen on the 2720 has a tighter mesh than the 2305 had. Another guess would be maybe they have different air flows leading into the radiator. I never had a chance to compare them side by side.

The current 2038r is a brand new tractor. It was re-designed from the ground up and is very different from previous versions. That could also explain why the parts catalog is not yet complete. It's technically a larger frame tractor than it used to be, based on the 3e chassis but with 2r series features. I bet as some time goes by the p/c will get updated, but wouldn't imagine that it would be terribly difficult to design something.
