Good day folks,
After doing some searching on the subject it would appear that not a whole lot of people have run in to the same issues so far as I have with my 2015 T4.75.
I have a 7.5ft snowblower which I use to clear my driveway/yard:
After a few hours of blowing snow for the first or second time this season I started seeing an error message on my console and very shortly after (minutes) losing power. It turns out the air filter was completely plugged off with snow! (Yes I'm aware of how bad this was - no I have not let it get to the point that I even get a warning on my dash again)
I've managed to prevent this from happening simply by being careful with how I blow snow however I've since removed the pre-filter and cover several times to thaw them out and it's surprising just how much snow/ice build up there is in the two.
The dealer here was able to tell me there is a cold weather kit available for a different model which shares the same air filter housing (T5000 - the part# is 84548990 - see View attachment t5000 filter resolution.pdf) which is simply a deflector for the filter inlet which kind of causes it to draw air from a bit more sheltered location under the hood/closer to the radiator. This will not work on my tractor as the intake is much closer to the radiator (T5000 appears to have an intercooler which space it out)
The air cleaner assembly I have on my tractor (47360442) is very generic looking, I'm sure it is likely used on a number of other tractors and that there may be other options available for a deflector - I just don't know where to look (and trust me, I've looked)
For those interested in seeing what my filter looks like search for T4.75 here:
Official New Holland Online Parts Store and Online Parts Catalog for New Holland and Ford Tractors.
Then navigate to:
(T4.75) - POWERSTAR TRACTOR - TIER 4A (NA) (1/14-) > (10.202.AB[01]) - VAR - 390200 - AIR CLEANER
Any help anyone can suggest would be great! I've debated getting a big magnet to stick on the grill on that side of the tractor to at least kind of force the engine to draw air from the opposite side, I have a feeling this would result in snow collecting under the hood (and I've already had to deal with the hood freezing shut once)
