Deutz F5L912 operating temperature

I bet that was one of the nicest 225's around! It must've pulled it's guts out with that motor, my machine is considerably larger and it pulls way harder than my 440D did. Sounds like I'm looking for a problem where there isn't one.... I'm just used to that 440D which was obviously a liquid cooled, thermostatically controlled, coolant temperature regulator so this constant on fan seems pretty crude. My motor does have an indicator, if the belt tension idler arm releases because of a belt break or extreme wear it'll make a contact and illuminate a light on the dash, I've got my horn wired into it as well..
