Can smart cooling be adjusted? I am doing lentils and it is fairly cool out so I expect engine fan blades are running fairly straight and not keeping engine compartment clean. I am getting chaff smouldering under the hydraulic filter which never happened when it was hot out. Can smart cooling be reprogrammed? This is on a 2013 S 77

Agco released a field campaign last week that puts cover over the exhaust manifolds for this very reason. I would get with your local dealer on this.

Might want to do what is needed to get hoses and wires off of floor to prevent any thing from stalling thus maybe floor will stay perfectly clean

Let it burn. Call agco

I would not advise you to let it burn. You might try manually reversing the fan, as it might help keep the compartment clean. But yes contact your dealer about the shrouds.

I tied up the battery cables that we're laying on the floor near the spot that was getting hot and everything was good today. Lentil straw is like gun powder right now.

I have had three different fires this fall on my 78, it was collecting on the left end on top of the exhaust manifold. Made a deflector shield that directs the air down on to it, no more problems.

It would still be nice if fan could be reprogrammed to stay full pitch a little longer to keep things cleaner, especially when it's cold out. I am not sure if it's the fan or engine that is responsible for fuel use, this Sisu is way better on fuel than my old M11 cummins. I am glad I didn't buy a bigger slip tank.

there is a solenoid next to radiator on grain tank side. We always pull the electrical connections off this when lentil harvesting to ensure a clean engine bay and stop straw residue being sucked in to engine bay if fan reverses. IMO for lentil harvesting the system should be on demand from the cab so that 1. the fan can be run at full pitch and 2. only have the fan reverse when out of the crop so lentil chaff can't be sucked in from the Left hand side

While doing my 1.5 Bpa chickpeas I had some more smoulders until I unplugged that solenoid, that fan moves air when it's full pitch and keeps engine bay spotless. Thanks old reaper. By the way I left 200 acres for the deer so I am done for 2014
