Show your tractors

Have small 4 cyl tractor with roof mount now. Don't won't any thing to big

 

Same here.

 

See earlier in the thread for pics of mine, it arrived last week. I have gone for the 570, Mines the n111, I may chip it though. I'd say go for the 570 too, mine currently has no wheelwrights and no ballast and it doesn't feel too bad, I will be ballasting and putting weights on it tomorrow if they arrive but it feels comparable to my weighted and ballasted 6400 with 560 combo as it is. The N series is a bit heavier than the 6000 series so I'd say go with the 570...

 

What ever crane you get you will want more reach, although having the reverse drive on the new one will make any lack of reach seem a lot less bothersome...

Hi all. Didn't think this was worthy of it's own thread.

 

Should I be bothered about my Ford 4000 getting too hot sat running a saw bench for a few hours in warm weather or will it be ok? It seems to have been fine so far, not boiled over just wondered if it was a good thing for it to be doing! It's not like when it's in the field moving it's getting air going past it to help cool it.

Does the temp gauge work? If so keep an eye it. It should be fine so long as the fan works. Also maybe check how clean the Radiator fins are. U could give it a blow out or pressure wash it. Also check the coolant.

None of the dials work, can't remember if it even has a temp gauge

 

It does use oil so been keeping an eye on that and the coolant seems ok. Just don't want to blow the old lass up. It does need a good clean up on the engine as it's covered in oil and a bit of saw dust in places that can't help

The 4000 should have a gauge.

 

A good way to see if it's cooling correctly is check the temp of the bottom hose when it's run a while. If it's hot going into the injun it's probably running too hot & something's blocked, or full of crud!

Waney that little schiseling is perfect for the front of a u900 Mog!
