Description
When your tractor starts running hot during heavy work, the first thing to check is your cooling system—and that includes the upper radiator hose. This hose carries hot coolant from the engine to the radiator where it gets cooled down before cycling back through. A cracked or soft hose means coolant loss, overheating, and the kind of engine damage that’ll cost you thousands in repairs.
What You’re Getting
- Durable construction that handles the heat and pressure cycling of farm work
- Proper diameter and bend angles for a direct, secure fit
- High-quality rubber that resists cracking from temperature extremes and ozone
- Reinforced design that won’t collapse under vacuum or expand under pressure
Built for Real Farm Work
This hose fits the Massey Ferguson 3000 series tractors—those reliable workhorses that handle everything from heavy tillage to loader work. These tractors are powered by Perkins 4.236 and 4.248 engines that generate serious heat under load, making proper cooling absolutely critical for protecting your investment.
Made to Last
Farm hoses take a beating from temperature swings, vibration, and exposure to oils and chemicals. This replacement uses quality rubber compounds that stay flexible in cold weather and won’t get brittle from engine heat. The reinforced construction prevents the ballooning and collapsing that kills cheaper hoses.
Good to Know
Replace this hose when it feels soft, shows cracks, or has any bulging spots. While you’ve got the cooling system drained, it’s smart to check your lower hose and thermostat too—they’re usually on the same replacement schedule. Always use proper hose clamps and position them away from the curved sections to prevent leaks.
