    MT342SH Reduced Power in reverse

    I would say this is safety issue. So the operator doesn’t go too fast in reverse and lose control. Many ATVs use a reverse limiter.

    MT342SH Reduced Power in reverse

    Normal operation. 3rd range is actually a very high range to be doing any sort of actual work with. I get it you were trying to get there faster but you would be better to run 2 range and higher rpm when doing work. I usually only use 3rd range when I’m roading it.

    Backhoe installation question

    Ok. If you had a cab I was going to tell you to watch seat back against rear glass.

    Backhoe installation question

    Yes, that is where the female coupling goes to dump fluid back into the system. Not saying it won’t operate by going into one of the sets but the correct way is removing the plug and adding coupling. Use the hookup so the lever stays in position and doesn’t return to center. I think mine is on...

    Backhoe installation question

    Ok. That’s what I was thinking. Should be fairly straight forward. Bolt subframe with braces. When you get it ready to go on the tractor just remember to not have your drawbar pin in or it won’t slide in.

    Backhoe installation question

    Is the backhoe on a pallet? Do you have to lift the hoe to get to the subframe? Once you get the subframe bolted on you can hook up the hydraulic lines to lift and level the hoe for attaching.

    Backhoe installation question

    Just unbolt the front bracket and install the new one. You won’t have any issues. Just to be sure I would measure the new bracket against the old just to make sure you have the correct one. What tractor model do you have?

    Ls XR4046 DPF Limp Mode and Diagnostic Software

    I owned the same tractor before I traded for the new MT 3 series. Mine exhibited the same issues at around 1100 hrs. Dealer determined it was regen burner. They installed the injector kit. $2,600.00 parts and labor. Several hundred hours later it was doing the same thing again. It was either the...

    2016 XR4040 Regen Issue

    My 2014 XR 4046 started doing the same thing about 300 hours after the new injector kit was installed. Either it was the injector kit again or the ECU. I didn't want to go through the hassle again so I traded for a new MT 357. Dealer gave me a good trade in amount and had what I wanted on the...

    HST linkage

    I was recently mowing then moving from one property to another and without warning heard a pop and the forward pedal went completely to the floor. Tractor stopped immediately. Crawled underneath to find one end of the hst linkage was broken off. I got a neighbor to pull me back to my building...

    What’s this part for? Came zip tied to BH bucket

    The dealer should have also given you the original front cross member bracket that is changed out to the cross member to accept the front of the backhoe subframe. It is painted blue. I would hang on to both of those parts.

    What’s this part for? Came zip tied to BH bucket

    A little advise when hooking up the backhoe. Before backing up to engage the subframe remove the pin holding the drawbar because the pin hanging down will not let the subframe enter the slot. Remember to put it back or just remove pin and drawbar all together when using the hoe.

    What’s this part for? Came zip tied to BH bucket

    The black part is changed out with the blue part when you have a backhoe. The blue part allows the subframe to attach. The dealer wanted it to stay with the tractor in the event you would ever get rid of the hoe you could put it back on.

    2016 XR4040 Regen Issue

    Just to clarify the dealer called it a burner kit. Took about 6 hours for them to install.

    2016 XR4040 Regen Issue

    It may be the burner. I have a 2014 4046XR and had to have mine replaced. Same symptoms. Unfortunately it cost about $2400 installed. I was out of warranty.

    AC light blinking

    Dealer came yesterday and put his gauges on the AC. We ran it for quite a while and the light never blinked once. The outside temperature was only around 66, much cooler than the 84 degree day when the issue occurred. The pressure readings were pretty much normal or if anything maybe a touch...

    AC light blinking

    Thanks Dude. I think you are correct. The owners manual didn't have anything. I'll post what the dealer finds. Thanks to all again.

    AC light blinking

    Yes, that is correct. The problem is when the light blinks the compressor clutch is cycling on and off. Can't be good on the new compressor. I talked to the dealer shortly after posting. They think it may be over charged or since the temperature has gotten much warmer the possibility of...

    AC light blinking

    Has anyone ever had the amber light on the AC push button slow flash? Last fall the original compressor failed and the dealer replaced it a few weeks ago. After running the AC for a while every so often the amber light will slowly blink for a while. Air seems to remain cold. Nothing in the book...

    Why is my T/M cooler covered in oil and dirt? XR4150HC

    I replaced mine about 2 1/2 years ago. Had a slow seep somewhere in the core. If I remember correctly is was slightly over $100. Had a local shop make a short jumper hose so I could still move it around until the new cooler came in. Simple change out.

    Battery replacement

    Has anyone replaced the battery on their XR yet? Curious if you went through LS or replaced with an aftermarket. The size appears to be critical due to how its mounted. Thanks.

    Trailer deck coating

    For those with equipment or flat bed trailers that have treated wood decks what is the best coating you have found that holds up the longest? I've used a couple different brands but it doesn't seem to last too long. I know the sun and weather is hard on the deck. I finally can get mine out of...

    Hydraulic line failure

    I had an hydraulic line that comes from the pump fail due to it rubbing on the engine block. I had a new one made at my local NAPA. On my model it was located on the right side. Comes out of the pump and runs up to the fire wall behind the top of the engine. I had to remove the hood and the hood...

    New Tractor / New Videos!

    I know your tractor is the new 4100 series but I thought I would post of pick of my XR4046 with 4102 loader. I assume your tractor has the 4104 loader. It looks like the 4104 loader brackets are shaped differently than the 4102 brackets. This pic is with the tractor on a rise with the front axle...

    Backhoe Need opinions on adding 3-point hitch backhoe

    I recently purchased an LS backhoe for my XR4046. I really like the subframe mount. I looked at 3pt. mounts but opted to go with the subframe. I think the LS subframe will be much easier to put on and take off. Not that I have much warranty left but I would check and see if a 3pt. would alter...

    Amsoil hydro fluid

    As I approach my 500 hr. service as recommended per LS to change the hydraulic fluid (11.4 gallons) I checked into changing with Amsoil synthetic hydro fluid. I was shocked when 15 gallons with tax was over $720.00. Needless to say I'm not going that route. I'm sure it's a great fluid and am not...

    Brake Light

    Here is an image of the right brake light showing the cracks. The center is actually open. The left one also has spider web cracks. I would like to replace them with LED but can't seem to find 3 1/2". The way these are attached behind the fender may be more trouble than what it is worth. Can a...

    Brake Light

    I noticed my right side round break light has a crack in it. Doesn't look like anything hit it more like it may have got hot and became brittle. I was looking to order a replacement online. The lamp part # is 40261649. The LS parts site (Sundowner) is not very good imo. I entered the part number...

    What feature would you like to see?

    Many post a certain feature they would like to see on their tractor. I recently read a indicator light when the 4 wheel drive is engaged, a clock not on the stereo, etc. I would like to see a little larger fuel tank. Even though the tractor is fairly easy on fuel it would be nice to not have to...

    Brake Light

    Does anyone know if the round red brake lights are a sealed unit or does it take a bulb? I haven't got a chance to look in the on line parts schematic yet. Thought maybe someone has replaced one and might know. I noticed right side out when parking brake is set. Not sure yet but it doesn't look...

    Rotary Cutter Question

    I recently bought a used 6' TSC rotary mower. Almost new condition. Guy only used it about 20hrs mowing down grass a couple times for a new home. It probably wouldn't be my first choice but I couldn't pass it up for 1/2 price. I'm only cutting pasture grass and very few small saplings so I...

    HST Cruise

    XR4046 front wheel seal

    I was moving gravel today and noticed the inside front right tire was wet with oil. Appears the seal let go and puked out all the oil. Going to the dealer Monday or Tuesday. I saw another thread where a 7010 had a wheel bearing go out and lost all the oil. Hopefully not a lot of down time.

    LS 4046 hood pictures

    LED work lights

    I installed 4 new LED work lights. What a huge difference. I stayed with the oval design to look like factory. They are 1350 lumens each. I got them from Surplus Center for around $225 for all 4 shipped. The brand is Buyers which makes some very nice products.

    Bush Hog 8ft. blade

    I bought it for $1,050. I think new they sell for $1,500-$1,600. Several equivalent blades also run about that amount. I don't think I can get that much adjustment on the lower arm. Even if I could I wouldn't want to change that every time I used it. Here's what it looks like.

    Bush Hog 8ft. blade

    I found a used 8ft Bush Hog blade series 90. Some of the info I came up with shows the weight at approx. 740 lbs. I was really looking at the 7ft. figuring that would be plenty wide. Like the idea of the extra weight for better cutting in some of our hard soil. My question is do you think this...

    Tire Pressure

    How much pressure are you running in your rear tires? I don't have any fluid yet but I noticed the tread or bars on rear tires are not fully contacting the ground. R4 industrial tires. I would think you would want the entire tread making contact. Thanks.
