225 running hot

[MESSMAKER]

Tractor runs hot in about 30 min of hard use. I have been running a rotary cutter a lot and I know it puts a lot of debris in the system.I clean the screen often and blow and wash the radiator when I get home. Plenty of coolant and the fan is working. I still feel like I am not getting enough airflow. Anybody cracked the code on this?

What speed range are you running in? If traveling in Mid or High at 1/2 pedal stroke or less, try dropping down to next lower range at full pedal. This will give equal trave speed but require somewhat lower HST pressure plus move more oil through the system resulting in cooler hysraulic temperature at the cooler. Hotter the oil cooler is, means warmer the air is passing through the radiator.
Just a thought, but worth a try.

You just confirmed part of my problem. I have a hydraulic leak and was running low on fluid. less fluid means less cooling means more heat to deal with means hotter temps.
