Overview
This short advice video argues that working a diesel engine hard, not babying it, is what keeps it healthy long-term, using a summer brush-hogging session as the backdrop. Mike covers three specific precautions: keeping the engine loaded rather than the transmission, monitoring the temperature gauge, and clearing debris from the radiator and hydrostatic cooler. Useful for new tractor owners wondering how to break in or maintain a diesel.
