    Bad fuel pump

    I have 40 hours on my new MT225HE. Fuel Feed Pump started leaking where the wires enter pump body. Fuel pump also gets hot, too hot to touch. Fuel Pump# is 40414568. Anyone else have fuel pump problems? Does anyone have the alternate 40312380 pump on their machine?

    Technically maximum permissible mass

    In anticipation of becoming a first time tractor owner I started reading the owners manual for MT225HE. I'm not sure if it is due to the fact I'm not familiar with tractor lingo, or is something being lost in Korean to English translation. Does anyone know the correct way to interpret this...
