New to this forum. First post. Appreciate your help. I have a 5610 Toolcat. When spraying fertilizer, which should not be a load on the PTO, the PTO randomly disengages and then will not re-engage. When I try to re- engage it, it spins for about 1 second and then disengages. I am not getting a warning or error code. I have tried sitting for a few minutes, as if to cool it down, then restarting, sometimes it works. I've tried restarting at idle, sometimes it works. I've tried restarting at full revs, sometimes it works. Nothing consistent works and I can't get it to fail consistently either. Some of the relays occasionally come loose in huge cab, so I check those, nothing consistent there either. Does anyone have any ideas? I would sure appreciate the help. Takes a long time to spray a field if I have to stop for 30 minutes every 10.
Thank you in advance.

Also, neither light comes on in the PTO switch or Hi-Flow switch even though the PTO, or should I say, when the PTO is spinning. Are those user-replaceable bulbs/switches?
Thank you.

:welcome: to TractorByNet! :thumbsup:

What series is your 5610?

My F series procedure is push the aux hydraulic button on the dash, then turn on the PTO. I have only used it to dig two post holes, so not much experience.

Are you trying to use Hi-Flow with the PTO?

Good day. My 5600 model A starter doesn't crank at all. Found out that the relay isn't working. Swap it with another one and still u/s. Have main power to relay but not getting power to relay solenoid. Could it be the controller because power seems to get from there. Starter has been check and found good.

That power signal does come from the controller. Turn key to start, sends signal to controller, controller verifies all safety neutral start systems are correct, then sends power to switch the relay. Check and verify all neutral start safety switches are correct and sending signal to controller before replacing an expensive controller/dash panel. Make sure the Park indicator (bottom row of lights, 3rd in from the right) is lit and showing in "P". If not and travel direction lever is in middle position you may have a signal switch failure.

Return to PARK reminder light doesn't show. Working on the safety switch. thanks for helping.

The light flashes when the arm is in wrong position and i lower the armrest but in park is off. Sounds to me normal.

Which ones are the safety switches.

2 simple things to check first.
1. Check fuse #2 20amp "Switched Power". that fuse feeds power supply to the shift lever switch.
2. If fuse is OK, go to the shift lever and unplug it where it plugs into the main harness. With an Ohm meter or continuity tester, check for continuity with lever in Park at terminal #1 (#1800 wires) and terminal #5 (#4820 wire). If no continuity, the switch has failed.

If you have continuity through the switch and fuse is OK, check for 12v at the #1800 wire at the shift lever, and report findings here or PM me.
