Hello,
I have been running an 8650 this summer, and it seems like it's not running right. We upgraded from a 4640 a few years ago, and have most of the same tillage equipment. We should not have any problem pulling these, but this tractor has never seemed to have the power. But, as you are using it, it will gain a little bit of power after 15-30 minutes of use. Sometimes enough to shift up a gear. We always let the tractor warm up before use, so this does not make any sense to me, but I am no tractor mechanic. We were told it was overhauled 2000 hours ago.
Also, we are now having an overheating problem when using it in the field. This could be a blocked radiator or something, but I was wondering if they were related. The water pump and thermostat have both been replaced. I think the fuel filters are on the newer side, but we can change those too.
Any one have any ideas about this tractor?
Thank you,
Martin
