Question for 45 Owners

[nc redneck]

Do any Kioti owners have a fan clutch ? I have a 2006 45se with 700 hours has been a great machine. I run a woods 96 inch mower on it and works great. Sometimes after several hours of hard mowing when air temperature is 85 or higher I can get a high heat reading. The case and body of tractor get very warm to touch as it cannot shed the heat as fast as needed. Made me think about a thermostat controlled fan clutch that are common on trucks and autos.
Do any of newer owners have one on there machine, I am thinking for sure enclosed cab owners with AC in the 45 to 55 range would have to have them. Thoughts, pictures, or part numbers would be great.
PS I check all air flow Grille, Radiator screen regularly.
Thanks

I know you said you checked screens etc.
Have you actually blown the radiator out with compressed air?

Be surprised how much dirt can be sitting in there, and appear clean.

Also hose it out too, and make sure you can see through it from top to bottom - no obstructions.

My DK45 used to get really hot, even to the point of boiling over. I went as far as buying an electric fan and set it up to blow extra air etc.. But then I thought that surely they must not have designed the tractor that poorly. So I removed the screen and discovered that my radiator was more than half way plugged with really fine fibers from flowers like dandelions etc.. Those things went right through the screen and got caught in the fine grid of the radiator. I vacuumed them all off and gave the radiator a good rinse. I've had no problem with over heating at all after that even in 95+ deg heat in the south.
