My NX6010

[TSO]

Kapper asked me what to do about a nannying feature on his new NX series tractor, and by his asking, he reminded me of the very first modification I did to my NX series tractor but had forgotten about. This modification is only a suggestion and should only be considered by those NX Series owners willing to better enjoy the thrills of living out a life of danger. :thumbsup:

That's probably the first thing I did to my Massey too ... Though I just zip tied the switch (it was a flip style contact switch)

I used a length of 0.032" stainless safety wire with the ends filed to fit and wrapped with electrical tape to jumper my terminals. If it can hold airplanes and racing stuff together, it'll do for the tractor too.

Out of all the other brands machines with hst I've n ver had a problem going into l m or h only with the kioti td!! My buddy just bought a Kubota (nx5510 equivalent) his HST is smooth going into all

my John Deere cut does the exact same thing.

I replaced the two bolts in the front of the cushion bottom to hold the cushion down , keeping switch closed.

Why do you want to do away with the PTO safety switch?

Not the PTO safety, the seat safety. An NX series shuts itself off if in gear and the driver gets up, even if the e brake is set.

To run the PTO while not on the tractor! I warm mine up in the winter by running the PTO. There's a hundred other reasons you might want to run the PTO without sitting in the seat. Thankfully they didn't add a safety to the DK series.

It is not the pto switch that I want to change, rather it is the silly engine switch. You cannot get out of your tractor and leave it idle, unless A) you switch to neutral AND B) you set the parking brake. Anyone who has done any kind of tractor work when you have to get in and out for any reason can testify to this. I simply would like to be able to leave it in gear and idle and get in/out of the tractor without it being killed! A tractor is not like a car that if you leave in gear it will creep away . I ALWAYS leave my John Deere in gear and get in/out with it running. As a matter of fact, if it is on level ground I won't even set the parking brake. But on any type of incline I set the brake. But I don't have to constantly switch it into neutral to leave it idle. By removing the seat switch it should allow me to keep it in gear and idle while I get out to move a small branch, rock, to pee, to get some water, etc....

If the DK series doesnt need one (and it doesn't have it) Then why does the NX series need it?

I was told Real tractors don't have seat switches.
