Yesterday was a continuation of my harrowing experiences. (get it, harrowing?) The tractor kept running hot. I would have to park in the shade at the end of the field and let it cool down. I blew out the radiator several times. I went slower. Then I sort of went to sleep. After dark it ran cool. I know the radiator is not plugged but yet it acts that way. It was 90 degrees or so.

Some random video from farming that doesn't show corn or a view from a drone

Wow! Dust in the field. Something I have not seen in a while. Thanks to climate change I can only try to remember what 90 degrees used to feel like. Frost predicted for us next week. Think I will stick to working on old cars.
ReplyDeleteOne day soon it will rain. And then it will be mud and drizzle for nine months. But we have also had differences in climate so who knows what will happen.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't be the thermostat because that got pulled years ago.....
ReplyDeletenew thermostat
DeleteJust turn off the A/C. Works every time!
ReplyDeleteNap under the oak trees worked really well also...
DeleteI'm going back to no-till!
Did you test it in boiling water? I once had a new one that was no good. Pulled it & put in in a pot on the stove & sure enough it wouldn't open.
DeleteIf you have a cab heater, turning that on high with full fan will increase effective radiator capacity by x% as well as lessen any temptation to spend money on a sauna.
ReplyDeleteBut, parking under the oak tree at the end of the field with the a/c on full blast is also a good alternative.
Delete19th century practice of resting the horse at the end of the row. 21st century calendar, 20th century horse.
Delete21st century, solar power refrigerator and a lazy-boy recliner! AND a remote control tractor. That would be the life!
