    Drive belt or Serpentine belt came off tractor. Until I get a replacement tomorrow is it save to run for half an hour. No cooling going obviously but tractor is only feeding in silage.

    New Holland TS 115

    TIA.

    If it was driving the water pump I wouldn't chance it for more than a couple of minutes - for example if you just need to move it out of the way.

    It should be ok, keep an eye on temperature and try not use the lights on the tractor

    Water pump went years ago on my tractor and I drove it like that for 10 mins most. Didn't rev it too high and had everything else done in advance, gates open etc, so it wasn't idling unecessary.
