Well I filled the old smoker up with some fuel, checked all the things to check before starting, and rolled out of the shop and mowed the yard. WOW! I'm in heaven.
Pure enjoyment. At "full throttle", for you william,
LOL, I am amazed at the power this thing has. I can see now why everyone wants a diesel. It actually felt like too much to be mowing with running those RPM's up like that. The only thing I did notice was that the front screen on the radiator did get pretty clogged up and the temps crept just above the last line before getting to the "H". It didn't get any higher. Starting out mowing for the first hour it would pretty much stay right at the middle line or 12 o'clock position. The air hose at the end of the day cleaned it up real good. I may have to do half the yard and then do a screen cleaning then finish the rest of the yard. It is bad dusty and dry here right now. I would say normal type of grass should pose no problems.
