5 minutes topsHow long to warm up ?
Half a mile sometimes ,and it hasn't been cold this winter, I guess ollie is right and the oil does need warmingHow long to warm up ?
I know that and I should be more patient but when I set off I dont always see snowflake and dont realise till I'm out of the driveIt's a safety feature to make sure the oil is warm enough first, you will see a snowflake/ice symbol on the screen indicating the temps are too low.
Good practice.Wouldn’t be an issue for me, always have tractor started and heater on for 5-10 mins before use in cold weather anyway
Yes especially the cabless 135Wouldn’t be an issue for me, always have tractor started and heater on for 5-10 mins before use in cold weather anyway
Haha! In winter it was an exception, start it and use it as quick as possibleYes especially the cabless 135
Not really any issues, my only gripe is that when it’s freezing temps it just won’t move sometimes, have to leave it sitting for 5 mins before transmission will even move. Wouldn’t be ideal on a feeder wagon. Normal temps it never does it. Perhaps it’s a dodgy temp sensor but it’s done it from new.
tractor has only done a shocking 950 hours in 3 and a half years. The T7 does all the main work.
Our T7 s are the same re temp,very annoying when you pull onto road to go through town and they have another 6 gears to reach but won't because its cold,only happens in cold temperatures
But you can buy low viscosity UTTO of different oils brands but maybe not new Holland ,that oil might be more suitable for cold conditions?How is this a bad thing, stops the gearbox chewing itself because the oil isn't warm enough??
That’s the quickest way to ruin an engine in my opinion block up the DPF and glaze the bores up , just half a minute to get the oil pressure all around then straight to work NOT under full load or revs mine you that’s the quickest way to worm them up .minus 10 or 15° give them five minutes or soWouldn’t be an issue for me, always have tractor started and heater on for 5-10 mins before use in cold weather anyway
Only if you leave them ticking over, i normally let them tick over 30 seconds then set them til about 13-1500 revs then go do something else for 5 mins, by that time they are warmed up inside and the gearbox etc is smoother etcThat’s the quickest way to ruin an engine in my opinion block up the DPF and glaze the bores up , just half a minute to get the oil pressure all around then straight to work NOT under full load or revs mine you that’s the quickest way to worm them up .minus 10 or 15° give them five minutes or so
