I just bought a new 60" brush monster for my T190. What's a safe hydraulic temp while operating? I'm seeing about 90 - 100 deg above ambient. Also what rates are most people getting for cutting/land clearing? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. So what's the charge pressure reading telling me?

I just put a set of Solideal tracks in my T190. So far I really like them. I bought them from MidWest Equipment.

I used to own a S185, but it didn't have a digital readout. I bought a 2300 hr 2006 T190 a few months ago. It just had a full service. My oil psi is in the 40's, coolant stays around 180, hydraulic oil temp is in the 150's, charge pressure varies from 300-330. All of these are in 90 deg weather...

It must have been the hyd oil temp. I finished up today without any problems. Just didn't run the cutter as hard.

Thanks for the reply. Engine temp was good, and I checked the oil level right after. I don't know of a way to check oil pressure or hyd pressure. No warnings/ codes for those were given. One idea that I have...and I would love to hear from some mechanics or anyone else.....is the hydraulic oil...

Longtime member here...not a high count post, though....could not remember my password, and my old email addy is not valid anymore..... I was on a job today running a brushcutter, and my 2004 S185 (680 hrs) just died. The panel (non keyless) was beeping and had a warning light. I tried to fire...
