Oosik....maybe if we had Grand L's instead of NX's, RTFM might help a lot? No idea, but would suspect for the same "gadgetry" on both, Kubota probably has much more detailed documentation. While I really like my Kioti and a positive opinion of the brand overall, their documentation is severely lacking. I suspect if I went to WalMart and bought a random toaster or blender I would have a much more thorough, comprehensive, and clear owner's manual
For tractor behavior issues that could be related to no-stall - this is ALL the manual has on it. If dealer didn't do a good job of initial walkthrough explaining each gadget, what it does, or when to/not to use it, kind of hard to figure out just with the manual. Looking through "troubleshooting" section of manual, there is not one "symptom" that calls for any of the "gadgetry" to be looked as a potential cause.
That is the entirety of what the operator manual tells you about no-stall.
In addition to the standard controls you'd expect to find on any modern machine, on the NX you have a bank of rocker switches on the right side to enable various features. I think a Grand L does it through a dashboard menu interface, but both have roughly all the same "extra stuff". Cruise PTO, Cruise PTO +/-, Cruise Control, Linked Pedal, No-stall, Speed Limit, Calibration, Turning Speed, DPF Regen, Auto PTO, & HST response setting. And each of these has the same or worse description as the no-stall example pictured.
A great example is auto PTO - you raise the 3 pt high enough it automatically turns off the PTO. But the PTO knob is still engaged. So you raise the 3pt and sort of forget all about it while doing other things, then shut down the tractor when you're done. Try to start it next day and it seems "dead". So you cuss a little while fiddling with range selector, reapplying parking brake, readjusting your butt in the seat......then finally think to check PTO after a while. Machine is doing what it's supposed to, but nothing in manual tells you this in area that briefly describes auto PTO. Its about the last thing to check in troubleshooting for "engine hard to start". Just a little blurb in the auto PTO section reminding you to manually turn off PTO switch would prevent a lot of us from feeling like idiots because we forgot auto PTO turned it off for us last time we used machine.
The NX is a nice machine with a lot of nice features, but there are just very poor descriptions and instructions surrounding those features. Manual literally dedicates more space to detailing how to operate the heat & AC in a cab model than all the NX-specific "gadgetry" combined. Combine a dealer who may or may not do a real good walkthrough about each one of those features with a new owner excited to play with his new toy and not paying the best attention since 99% of it is stuff you already know (4wd, loader joystick, check the oil, clean the radiator screen, tire pressure, diff lock.....) and you're left with a lot of owners not fully understanding what all those extra buttons do or how to use the options appropriately.
Kioti really needs better documentation, better website, an official youtube presence.....something....
