NH TD5.95 drifts to the right - worse when faster

[GerMarsh]

Least of its worries now - I had nearly finished tedding a 5 acre field when there was a bleep, a stop symbol and some error relating to the diesel particulate filter. I should have made a note of the error code but thought I had better stop the engine immediately. Awaiting call back from dealer but I think I have found a way to access the historic error codes.

Well, the dealer has nobody who could come out to the machine but I did find out in the manual how to access the error codes. Except I couldn't. It repeated a symbol which I think refers to the engine running on reduced power. After more conversations with the dealer, I decided to give it another go. I noticed that the amber warning symbol also flashed with a few beeps. I think it was three then two then one. Suddenly the warning symbol went out and the tractor started! The dealer person suggested I start a manual regeneration except it does not allow that unless it needs it.

When I just attempted to access the historic error codes, there aren't any! Aaargghhh!

I hope it does not happen again.

It did with a different error code - 3293. I will start a new thread as that number is not in the manual too.

Back to the original problem and steering to the right. A local NH expert had a drive and he told me not to drive it on a road until it is fixed! He suggested that it is indeed a leaking seal but the leak is internal to one of the power steering rams. I think the work required is beyond my meagre skills so I need to find someone appropriate. Thank you all who replied. I think it has had this problem since I bought it but thought it was me!
