Andre Go with original equipment and temp recommended in owners manual (or wherever it shows up, I didn't look it up). You can run it hotter But running it hotter than recommended can cause problems. They did have engineers when they built these tractors and they knew what the cooling systems were designed for. It's not just a matter of running it hotter to get better performance and fuel economey, overheating it in the middle of a work day is not too economical.
