Results from my 7500hst

[cchoate]

I let my machine warm up for about 5 minutes before each use and kicked it into to full throttle after 10 minutes with a RPM reading of a hair under 2800 with no load. Mowed for 1 hour and did the same with the same RPM's. I have a non-contact infrared thermometer and did a reading on the engine block just after I shut it off with a 174 degree F. The transmission was 146 degrees F on both sides. 13.4 hours total on machine. The outside temp was around 76 degrees F. Anybody else have simular readings?

Thanks for posting this info. I have been having a problem with my tractor and do not have actual temp degree readings..., but was waiting for another B7500HST owner to post their rpm readings. Being a first time tractor owner/operator I find it interesting that they (at least our particular tractors) don't really have much power to spare above PTO speed. As you may have read in my post about overheating, losing a few hundred rpms when you are barely above PTO speed at full throttle can be quite noticeable.
Thanks again, at least now I know that my tractor is up to speed at least while running cool.
