Got a new Bateman RB35 last autumn which had fuel problems right from the word go. 4 sets of fuel filters in the first 20 hours were needed to make it run. Put it down to colder weather waxing the fuel even though the fuel had winter additive in it and the sprayer is always stored in an insulated building. The main fuel tank is bunded, filtered and inside and the fuel is EN590 so we can’t do much more on fuel quality.
From March until now we haven’t had any problems but it has started to play up again today even though it is still relatively warm and needed new fuel filters despite the old ones being less than 50 hours old. We run the same John Deere engine in a similar age JD tractor on the same fuel that gives no bother at all.
Bateman have pointed us in the direction of the John Deere dealers to sort it out, but I’m interested to know if anyone else has had or is having similar issues.
