WHEN YOUR TRACTOR OVERHEATS... OR A/C GETS WARM, THIS is usually why. Kioti RX7320 field work

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.

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.

It's like the old saying. An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. Nicely done 👍

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..

[dehavenfamilyfarm]

Bush hogging really can plug stuff up- especially the older and dryer the material you are cutting. Good tip!!

[MelsML]

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.

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

[photocontrol]

Good tips Joe to check all the screens and the filter housing for a buildup of debris when the temp gauge starts climbing.

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...

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!

I carry a 20V leaf blower. Blow from engine side of radiator. Was out running in 100+ heat today.

[MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors]

great advice Kapper, thanks for sharing.

[clarkwheeler]

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!!

[garykellam]

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 🇬🇧

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.

[marcopomponi]

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.

The worst part of it over heating is you have to step out of your ice cold cabin to diagnose the situation. Haha

[TairnKA]

At first I thought "It's crapping out already?" but I'm glad it's a common, easily dealt with situation. ;-)

[bobpaterson]

When workin in conditions like that we used to clean the screens minimum of mornin noon an night minimum 👍👍

[mikepici]

Kapper how do you like that bush Wacker cutter

[lesphilaja]

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.
