Hot Kabota

[Bad@boy]

My 4240 Kubota is overheating. Has water, oil, and starts easy. Runs great, yet after 10-20 minutes it slowley over heats up to 6 (75%) marks on the temperature gauge. It will continue heating if I let it run - (one time at this according to the dash gage). At this time I shut it off. I Give it a break and restart. It has cooled a little and I generally put it away. No water or oil leakage or steam is visible It is a 2008 4240 with only w/173 hours on the dash. It has a front end loader and 60" mower hanging on the back. What could cause it to over heat? Could I have a cab put on it? Help this ol guy. Bad@Boy

First thing that comes to mind is too much fluff and crud build up in the radiator fins. With all the crap they put in front of the radiators on tractors any more, battery, air filter, framework, ETC, it's a major job to actually reach the radiator to blow it out. Just wiping the stuff off the screen isn't the solution. You need to get down and dirty with compressed air and a tricky wand to get much accomplished in the process.
