    I don't know why it is so satisfying to watch the brush hog working this way, but I got the same satisfaction when we were having the railroad right of way mowed, when I was a section foreman. I guess it is the way the land looks after the cutting is done.

    The code is because you are putting the pump under to much stress. Y'all need to keep the engine from bogging down. If the engine ain't stressed, the pump ain't stressed. Don't let the engine bog down to hard and you'll be fine.

    cut straight lines in front of the treeline and then clean them up when the field is mowed. You're using hp your mower deck needs when you keep that machine in a turn all the time.
    Notice your blade speed pick up when you're straight.

    Just a question. Would it not have been easier to find somebody with 5075 goats and turn them loose in that area then to use your tractor to cut it all down?? Seems to me it would be a lot better for the ground to have the goats eat it up and drop it behind them. That many goats could really didn’t the brush!!

    • @historicbeef

      Pice of goats 🐐 100$ each… so 507500$ for a mulching job ? And what do you do with the goats afterwards? Half a million dollars. I don’t have this kind of money and his customer seems not too, so…

    You will be fine brother. That tall grass is a ton of stress on the engine and it builds up in your particulate exhaust. Just run a force regen to burn up all the unburned diesel in the exhaust..
    great job.

    • @historicbeef
      @historicbeef 3 роки тому

      ? High stress equal high exhaust temperature. So the dpf itself should be able to do a passive regeneration while operating. Under normal conditions and clean air filters.

    • @easttexasengineering3489
      @easttexasengineering3489 3 роки тому

      @@historicbeef actually having been designing engines you are correct in normal towing applications where engine rpm and fuel are running parallel. In this case your statement doesn’t really apply. Running Lean (low fuel to high air ratio) causes engine heat, in this type of equipment the hydraulic system forces engine rpm to stall but not the fuel system. Yes it increases the heat in the combustion system but not burning all the excess fuel due to lack of rpm. This clogs the exhaust DPF. The system is only designed to burn off 75hp worth of UN-burned fuel for his unit. However that’s also in a optimal condition which is not under continuous load of UN-burned fuel.
      I hope this helps brother..

    When diesels get hot you let them idle, so that they continue to circulate coolant. Heavy brush/pollen may have clogged up your filters causing the engine to run hot. Best wishes.

      @idigit4967  3 роки тому +1

      Yeah I let it idle down after it threw the code but when it threw the code it wasn’t running hot. The engine temp was in the middle of the gauge. It was saying the fuel in the tank was getting hot, not necessarily the engine.

    Use to work for the county road crew when I was a kid. 80 horse Ford tractors with 6 foot bushhog on the right side. Hydraulic driven. Cant be stopped. Would literally cut through anything. Anyway, the setup is two of these tractors cutting one side of the road. One up front to cut the right away and another behind to finish up to the tree line. Well, one day me another guy was cutting this country road. His name was CJ. CJ for County Jail. Yes, he was an idiot. He was up front doing the first pass when I noticed he would look at me, grin, and look back to where he was mowing. He did this several times when all of sudden animal parts come flying out from his mower. The dumb ass had run over a dead dog laying on the side of the road. It was awful. The smell was beyond belief not to mention the sight of it. None of it got on me thank God. I think I would still be throwing up if it did.

    So far I haven’t seen any snake parts go flying out from under that machine. Not sure why I’m watching it because I hate snakes.

    nice job but the equipment seems a tad undersized and under powered. Good healthy growth, so satifying to turn it back into the earth, is this once or twice a year cut? Now bigfoot has to step back to the woods edge where he belongs.
