What to check first

1
Idle the engine for 2 minutes then shut down if temperature doesn't drop
2
Check the coolant overflow reservoir — if below MIN, you have a leak
3
Clean the radiator/cooler stack from the engine side outward with compressed air or a leaf blower

Likely causes

1
Radiator or cooler stack blocked with debris— Most likely
DIY
Same as any tractor — clean the stack from engine side outward.
2
Low coolant level— Most likely
DIY
Check for leaks at hoses, clamps, water pump, and radiator.
3
Failed thermostat stuck closed— Possible
DIY
Upper radiator hose cool while gauge shows hot = thermostat stuck.
4
Fan clutch failure— Possible
Shop
Fan should spin faster as temperature rises.
5
Water pump failure— Less common
Shop
Shop recommended.

Pro tip

Same advice as for any brand: blow out the cooler stack regularly during dusty operations. Keep coolant topped up and use the correct specification for your brand.
