- Thanks for joining me today for a bush hogging video as I am working on a larger bush hogging project with my Kioti RX7320 and 12' batwing mower rotary cutter. The temperature was in the 90's with high humidity and direct sun througout the day. Most seasoned tractor owners will know most of this stuff, but I have encountered a good number of folks who are newer tractors owners, or who have simply never come across this issue, or even known it to be an issue that causes 99% of the tractor overheating situations. Join me for the video and of course we'll have some fun tractor bush hogging clips, some cool drone clips, and of course the real time, as it happened segments of when our new Kioti tractor (RX7320) starting running hot while I was bush hogging some large fields.

If you don't keep a leaf blower on the mower deck and blow the radiator out backwards you should really consider it, then once every 5-10 hrs of operation soak the radiator with soapy water and wash it out like your mad at it. REALLY HELPS. KEITH'S TRACTOR MOWING.
That air cleaner cover that has that rubber piece is to let any dust and or dirt fall out from there if you squeeze it.
That is not an air intake item. The air intake tube is on top of the main air filter housing.
You're right. Its called a "burp" nozzle. Lets out the larger trash that has gotten in to the air filter.
clark wheeler Dust unloader in the UK.
So I have heard, see learned something new again! Either way it was good and clogged!! Thanks
Kapper....Leaf blower. Everytime I'm Bush hogging, I carry myleaf blower.Not just for my radiator, but for my tractor and bushog, keeps me from spreading unwanted seeds from weeds from field to feild. Keep up the great work. Really enjoy your videos..
Seems like a lot of people do that! Guess I might have to get me one of them! Didn't think it would be concentrated enough for the engine coolers though? Does it work in between them too?
@@kapperoutdoors Yes, a little bit anyway,especially in the field. I always blow from engine towards front of tractor. Now when you get back to your shop, get you a long nose air blower and get in there between them. But make sure you turn down your air regulator to about 40 psi so you don't bend you coils in radiator. This is what I do and works very well. Keep up the great work man!
It's like the old saying. An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. Nicely done 👍
Yep totally agreed! Thanks
Bush hogging really can plug stuff up- especially the older and dryer the material you are cutting. Good tip!!
I really liked the easily removable screens, that made it pretty easy. Take care man
great advice Kapper, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Joey, hope things start looking up soon!
I blow my screens out and radiator out at after each cutting or dusty conditions it dose help keeping it cool also.the out side screens keep the grass from clogging them good advice Kapper
Good call for sure on doing that, its good practice, and thank you, appreciate it
Great advice joe.
Thanks Troy, hope all is well take care
I carry a 20V leaf blower. Blow from engine side of radiator. Was out running in 100+ heat today.
Yes , you can tell he's not use to keeping a leaf blower in the tractor during bushhogging
seems like a popular item to carry, think I'll have to get one thanks.
I posted that too but I also forgot to mention they are great for blowing the equipment off before giving them a rinse. Helps from chasing grass back and forth with water
Good tips Joe to check all the screens and the filter housing for a buildup of debris when the temp gauge starts climbing.
Thanks. Have a great weekend! Cheers
@@kapperoutdoors Thanks Joe! Have a great weekend as well! Cheers!
Buddy that Southern Illinois heat will make damn near ANYTHING overheat! We were down there for 4 days last week. I planned on working 3 days and relaxing 1. Well needless say, I had to go 2 and 2. Sweltering ain't enough to describe it! Keep hydrating and thanks for the tips, Kap!
lol yeah and it isn't really even 'hot' just yet! Most don't realize that we are actually farther South than half of the state of Kentucky. Glad the AC works!!! Thanks
Havent had a working temp gauge the entire 20 years I've owned my tractor. So I know to keep the radiator cleaned off and watch for the radiator hose blowing anti-freeze. Although seeing your working temp gauge makes me wish I had one!!
lol that's just the old school way of watching the temp! But usually when it starts blowing you might have to let it cool awhile, right?
@@kapperoutdoors Yes, and add another gallon of water or anti-freeze in the radiator!! SMH
What we do Kapper , is keep the leaf blower in the tractor and blow them out , if it starts running hot , you will learn a leaf blower is your best friend for blowing out the engine dust etc from the tractor , and you can blow off your bushhog in a matter of minutes with it...
seems this is pretty popular I guess I may have to consider it. I sure like the idea of cleaning off the bush hog easily!!! Thanks.
The worst part of it over heating is you have to step out of your ice cold cabin to diagnose the situation. Haha
lol I needed to stretch my back out anyways!!!
When workin in conditions like that we used to clean the screens minimum of mornin noon an night minimum 👍👍
our kubota never over heat if theres stuff on it
Roger that! In that heat, every hour or so might be needed! Thanks.
At first I thought "It's crapping out already?" but I'm glad it's a common, easily dealt with situation. ;-)
lol nice. Yeah this is common for any kind of field machines. Glad they made it easy for me on the Kioti. Thanks.
Hey Kapper im sure aware but be extra careful parking that tractor in tall fields hot. Since it doesnt have a hood stack. Seen a few fires from this. Great videos love watching.
good call, I was thinking of that while I was sitting still!! And the regen really heats it up! Thanks.
Mikita battery leaf blower they are great for blowing the chaff out 👍 ps good filming mrs Kap 🎥 or should I say mrs Spielberg 😘 gk uk 🇬🇧
Someone else said that too. Thanks GK!
Same thing happened to me with my uncle's tractor with a open station I was tilling our fields. I was told it runs hot. It overheated on me first thing I checked was the filter it was so packed I couldn't believe it even ran.
Yep, they'll run for a little while like that, but when its hot out, forget it. Glad you got it before overheating too bad.
my 6010 has been over heating,screens clean and all coolers look ok,been bush hogging steep hills but they are hils i have done before without over heating
Hey Kapper. I had some pretty hot/muggy days lately here in New England doing hay work and had to do a regen, (which you can over ride on my RX66PSC until your in a safe place. I bought a Radiator Genie that lets me use water or compressed air to clean the fins if they get clogged with dust. It works great, was under $40 for both wands.
Could you tell me if your third function kit was a actual Kioti option or just a WRLong kit your dealer installed. Keep up the good work.
I think I have a radiator genie in the shop! LOL. It is a wand kind of thing with a flat end...? My 3rd function was a W R Long inc that they installed for me. Thanks, and good wishes with your tractor projects!
That rubber piece is not where it sucks the air in. That is a drain that allows any water that should finds it way to drain out. Make sure it is clock at or near the 6 o'clock position. The shape is such that it will stay mostly closed and vacuum in the filter box will tend to keep it close it while the tractor is running.
I've heard that, guess it makes sense, but it was clogged like crazy, have not seen that before. Not sure where it sucks the air in on the other side I'll have to take a look. thanks.
Kapper, get yourself a Milwaukee M18 blower. Carry it along with you in the cab. Charge lasts a long time. Very powerful. I got my son to carry one in the cab of his combine.
Seems like a popular idea, might have to get one! Thanks
Just had the same problem when I was brush mowing.
Yeah, thought I'd bring it up since I've seen it happen a bit with newer tractor owners. Thanks.
Joe do you know if your tractor that has an alarm that goes off if the temp enters the red? I have that on my Kubota Zero turn mowers. When the guys tell me the alarm went off I know they're not paying attention to the temperature gage.
Not sure, I would think so, but don't know since I caught it before it went into the red. I have learned to keep an eye on it especially when running at high rpm for any length of time. Thanks, have a good one
Joe, get yourself a battery-powered leaf blower to carry around with you, will make quick work of it!
That seems a bit big and bulky!? Not sure it would have enough air flow for the coolers?
Take a look at the Stihl battery unit, it might surprise you!
Hand held decent power leaf blower. I haven't tried any of the cordless ones but I'm sure they would work. Some say to wash it out but I would highly suggest not doing that.
Lots are saying this thanks. I'll look in to it. I wash them out only after I am done with tractor so it has time to dry before sucking in more dirt while its wet. Good call thanks
Kapper how do you like that bush Wacker cutter
When you get that Kioti back home it would serve you and the tractor well to blow the dust out of and off of everything in the engine area. A good strong `shop vac`will help a lot too.
BUT be careful to NOT hit the radiator core`s fins when doing this. Dust is your enemy here!
I cleaned it with water when I was done, but not too strong of a jet. Its ready for the next mission!
@@kapperoutdoors Yes, that fine and will certainly will do the job too.
Yes onward and 'upward' into the fields we must go. ( there's a song in there somewhere :) )
Joe, just get yourself a couple cans of caned air. Plenty of air pressure to blow the radiators clean, plus easy to store on the tractor.
Good idea! Much smaller than a leaf blower, thanks.
Joe your rad and ac cooler fins what you want o do is take a normal garden hose sprayer nozzle with a jet setting or fan setting I learned a few years ago that using a pressure washer can damage the fins
Roger that, agreed. I only use water though after I am done, otherwise if you go back out with wet coolers it will really catch all the dust and crap. Thanks man
Keep a "stiff" old/ cheap paint brush in the toolbox....great for cleaning the screens, etc..
Good tip! Seems lots carry a lef blower. I'll have to see how big a leaf blower is, if it fits decent somewhere in the cab. Thanks
Kapper
Get Urself an aircomb and blow out the radiator and condensor from engine to front makes a mess but gets ALL the crap out.
Screen daily and sometimes 2x a day and blow outs were every couple weeks.
dot roadsides/medians are just as bad.
A/C reduction was the first clue 4 me.
I am going to look at some options mentioned in the comments. I think a leaf blower is too big. Might try to find some smaller air cans. What exactly is an aircomb? Thanks
Another tip if u ever burn off ur field and then try to till it up the ash off the ground will clog all the screens and it will over heat
Good point. Just tilling alone in any kind of dry dirt really clogs them up bad! That clay dust is the worst, it is dry then expands when it hits the moist coolers! Thanks
Have you thought of purchasing a tractor PTO air compressor?
Not really, but after a lot of comments might get a leaf blower, at least for when I bush hog or do dirt tilling for the dust. Thanks.
Been there done that .
Roger that
I hate that I have to clean and wash out radiator every 25 30 bales!! It's the worst!!
97.2k July 15, 2021. Joe did y see the email I sent u and CJ of albino buck ?
Yes I saw it, forgot to reply. I think that buck is legit I know the pics are going around. Still moving up! But very slowly still!! Have a good weekend!
Makes me happy I went with a new workmaster 75 no dpf better fuel mileage and power
I missed what that has to do with his radiator screens getting clogged with chaff when mowing??
Pohbor 57 pretty sure he talked about it
In the beginning
To each their own, best of luck!
I guess it would cost too much but they need a hydraulic fan that can reverse to blow the crap out.
skid steers have them, but they don't work all that well (IMO..) but definitely good enough to keep it cool until you are done with it. Would be nifty on a tractor! Thanks.
Surprised first regen was at 14 hours!?
I did it manually. The engine light came on so it might have needed its first one. Was good to go after that.
The air filter does not sucking air through that black nipple
Well its either an entrance or exit for air and it was totally clogged...
FIRST!!!!
Nice!
Drop the loader or at least the bucket and stop disturbing it before the cut.
On an unknown area I keep it down to look for big obstacles like rocks and such.. But yeah it creates more chaff for sure.
Tip- first I blow out the rad with air, reverse flow. Then flush with water and simple green.
I also put the bucket down low to push the weeds down and low.
Washing out rads that get dusty usually doesn't end well. If you don't get it all out that stuff turns to almost concrete.
@@jdboy9 That's correct! Many people are tempted to try and rinse the dust out with a water hose. Don't! Use compressed air from the inside out to get most of the dust out, and periodically use a pressure washer being careful not to bend the radiator fins with too much pressure.
Good info. I do wash it out with water but only after I am done so it has plenty of time to dry and not suck in more dirt on the wet coolers. But is there some other reason you don't suggest water? Thanks
@@kapperoutdoors I work on a golf course and we have a high flow/pressure hose off our irrigation system that we use to wash down equipment daily. It was practice for years to wash down the rads as well. Then came along someone that came to work for us after owning a rad shop for close to 30 years. They said you guys give us so much business washing out the rads. Then one day we removed a rad so that we could all be proved wrong. Well sure as can be the thing was over half plugged and the only way get the hardened stuff out was to soak the whole thing in a 55 gallon drum to soften up the hardened junk. Then carefully using a pressure washer we were able to get it cleaned out. Since then all we use are leaf blowers and compressed air.
@@kapperoutdoors i forgot, after water i use air to blow the water out. just got done baling hay and i can see a temp dif. i use a washing machine hose with one end cut off. air= i use a 3/8 air line, 3ft with a end cut off with a pistol trigger.
