I need an app like that to monitor my beer intake (gal/hr), blood alcohol level BAC (%), side effects (net sway amplitude - in feet; AND sway frequency measured in Sway/sec.)

Other metrics such as ambient temperature and my motor-mouth responses per minute (RPM), go without saying....

Thank you for the humor! I'm having a rough day despite my best efforts otherwise, and decided to visit GTT just to focus on happier things for a moment. Your post gave me a smile and a much needed laugh 😂

I wonder if the fan was reversed and sucked air thru the radiator instead of blowing what’s in front of the tractor into the radiator if it would clog less often.

I've read that some types of heavy equipment feature a hydraulically driven fan with solenoids to momentarily reverse the flow (and therefore the fan's direction of rotation) every so often. This is intended to help keep the radiator and other heat exchangers clear of debris.

If shutting the engine down is harmful the operators manual should state that .

Totally different machine but, the manual for my 1R does say this. It's in one of those "Avoid Damage!" statements.

That's what I do for any engine that is overheating, simply take the load off and let it cool just above idle. The exceptions defective fan, stuck thermostat, loss of coolant or anything else where cooling just won't happen anymore until repairs are made.

I'd put a piece of tape over the indicator

I considered doing this too, but with inflation, the cost of a roll of tape was just too much to bear. I went for the free option and simply drained all the coolant. No coolant temp warnings ever since!
