Help! 3 problems and just 11 hours in. Warranty? Insurance? Me?

[lilranch2001]

What was the work that took such a short time?

100 hour service, 4 warranty issues, removed beet juice, put on a new tire and refilled beat juice, and added remotes

I am sure they probably had to add some air to the tire along with beet juice tho

That dealer is either not busy or very organized.

A very professional shop for sure

Was able to use the cutter for a while today. Everything seems to be in order with that. Much better with the tires set wider. I can see the benefit of the fender extensions, which I have yet to install.

One down note: I couldn't get it to come out of MFWD. The lever won't budge. I read the manual when I got home this afternoon and perused tbn. Can't see how I was doing anything wrong. I'm not too worried- will mess with it again tomorrow. Maybe something simple like a fuse, not pushing on clutch completely, or the wheels not being straight. Though it does beg the question, "where does correcting the quirks of a new vehicle end and the possibility of a lemon begin". Hate to think that way as I like so much about the tractor otherwise.

Try moving the tractor in reverse, steer left/right while moving the MFWD lever to disengage. This has happened quite a lot in all 4WD tractors I've owned -- Massey Fergusons, Deeres, Kubotas.

Thanks! Will try that first.

Sunnyside:
In the hope that your suggestion works tomorrow, was this an intermittent thing or a routine way to disengage the MFWD?

Intermittent in that it occurs when the drive train (front/rear) is in a bind and you move lever to disengage MFWD. Moving the tractor while turning front wheels will lessen the bind enough to allow disengagement of MFWD.

Actually, turning the front wheels while moving either forward or backwards will usually free the bind enough to disengage while moving the MFWD lever.

Yep agreed,
sometimes i just push in the clutch and tap the brakes usually works too.

I've had the same problem from time to time. If I use the loader to take a little weight off the front wheels it comes out of fwd easily every time. On the 4120 fwd is a pull up knob next to shift levers.
