    As I'm sure others have said. Put your bucket on. If you run with the bucket level most of the seed and chaffe will collect in the bucket. Running the pallet forks basically fluffs up everything making it easier to suck into the engine. I would also recommend checking your air filter now too. If your radiator is filling up that fast you probably got some of that stuff packing into your air filter now too.

    Hey mate, put some fly screen on the front of your tractor. We use that for mowing high grass or on the bull bar of our ute (truck) when hunting pigs. It catches most of the seeds before it gets the radiator.

    You need a check valve at the T going to the pig and barn water or at the barn.
    If pressure is lost on the main water supply and then something is opened at the house, or hosebib the pig water barrel will most likely siphon back into the main water line and will go into house when pressure is restored. A cross connection always needs a check valve, and the direct hookup to the pig water barrel is a bad cross connection

    Usually we take the loader off of our tractor to brush hog, when the loader hits the weeds then they pop back up that seems to knock a lot of seed and dust into the air, with the loader off they just go under the tractor without much of a chance to pop back up. We also use a garden hose to wash the radiator if it’s clogged, it helps get everything out.

    We had the same problem with our Massey Ferguson. We cleaned out the screens as you did but we also blew out the blades of the radiator. We got an extension for the end of our air chuck that had an "L" extension for the end and blew out the blades! Worked wonders.

  • @hunterdan2002
    @hunterdan2002 2 місяці тому +3

    Id have raised the loader so it wasn't knocking off the seeds as you drove. The seeds will stay attached to the stems and not clog everything up as quickly.
    Also a good reason to keep the loader off the d-17. No need for 3 tractors with a loader

    You might want to make sure that the pressure relief plug is working. When the oil heats up and expands which causes pressure that can cause the oil to blow out past the seal. Check out the parts list on the gearbox to see what type pressure relief plug is used and that yours is functioning properly.

    I remember that we first installed it on a wooden platform ,witch didn't work very long . Even though it was on a big place that we dugout an filled with rocks that we couldn't even move a hand . Than filled in the space around the big rock with gravel . After that didn't work very well , We removed the wood and poured a concrete pad with anchor bolts so we could remove it for winter.

    Howdy Evan, pick yourself up an outside air conditioner mesh cover and wrap it over tractor hood grilles. I had to cut mine a bit but it works great when zip tied in place. It pre-filters all of the cooling air going into your radiator and is super easy to knock off the seed heads and pollen. When you're done, cut your zip ties and store it away for next time.
