I started by subsoiling about 5 acres of hard dry heavy clay ground. I ran it as deep as it would go and at times it was all i could pull due to the ground being so hard.
Then I hooked up a 6 tooth chisel plow and went over it. I burnt the paint off the exhaust manifold and the turbo :good2:
I also had a few drops of oil come out the engine vent and drip on the steering cylinder. I assume its supposed to drip since Deere put a tube for it to vent down there. Anyone leak a bit from the crankcase vent. (only 4 drips):good2:
Here are the pictures of the rubber tube and the bit of oil that is leaking. I have to guess that this is a crankcase vent. I am not concerned about it enough to really look:yahoo:. I have to guess that I maybe spit some of it out when the subsoiler was burried in tree roots and I almost stalled the tractor in low (R1's have some serious grip):thumbup1gif:. Just breaking it in..LOL...
Hey guys, The moisture at the vent tube will be directly proportional to how hard you work the machine. A hard day might make her drip a little while an easy day might leave you with a dry tube.:thumbup1gif:
