I work with my uncle doing commercial landscaping, and a big part of it is mowing the highway medians for the city. We have to use flail mowers because the contract says no rotary mowers. The big Kubota has been overheating, the AC shuts down, and turns the cab into an oven. I dont personally drive that tractor, but I'd like to solve the problem because parking it for an hour is a big time killer.
I forget the actual hours, but I believe it's in the 20k range. New thermostat, changed coolant, and we regularly use a leaf blower to clean under the hood and the radiator find. The fella who drives it, even added an electric fan in front of the radiator and it made no difference what so ever. I'm thinking the water pump is worn out and just not moving water like it should. But since I'm not a Kubota expert, I want to ask you that are. I'm a huge Kubota fan though. I have a 2005 M5700 with 230 hours on it, and a 2017 RTV1100.
So, is there something else I should try?
