My NX6010

[MinnesotaEric]

I like the idea of tricking the mice into doing some work for you. Lets hope the cotton balls don't end up in your tractors intake.

How long have you been saving toilet paper rolls for this project?

We've been aggressively trying to harness the power of the field mouse for years.

Curious Eric have you had any issues with your nj loader handle? Just broke 100 hours yesterday plowing one of the trucking companies I do and the front end loader handle let loose I only slightly have tilt use cant lift lower loader! Found a small nut on floor!! I have a 2015 nx5510, luckily the deter is 3 minutes from my house UTV's going in first thing morning! Also when I'm driving in high full speed the machine will stop dead and the green circle "CAL" I guess calibra light comes on the dash! I have to wait 4-5 seconds for it to shut off then I can resume driving, I also have that happen just normal loader use back and forth in my yard???? Dealer is gonna look into it???

No, I've had none of those issues.

Turn off the calibration switch (the one with the gear on the right side) and the green CAL light will turn off. That switch is for technicians trying to calibrate the HST, which now yours may need to be calibrated because the switch has been on.

Check your loader connections by first disconnecting them all and then connecting them all. Your loader should start working again.

Install lose nut through loader joystick handle and tighten. Check the other as well as there are two in total.

Yeah I'm well aware of what that does but it's always turned off!!

Also does your Hst work smoothly or is it hard going into L,M or High? I have to fight mine to go into Medium which is the primary gear I use! My ck35 kioti 2012 same issue!! I had it adjusted many times there gonna look at it I my NX tomorrow as well

Your HST is out of calibration. Your loader is most likely a QD that isn't fully connected, and the loose nut you found, is, from your description, most likely one of the two machine screws that attach the plastic handle to the joystick.

FWIW, my 2014 NX4510HST can be a little finicky getting into L, M and High once in awhile. I, too, use Mid range most of the time. I've not been bothered by this, as it's easy to ease into gear by giving a little forward or reverse to the HST pedals. I've seen the same issue discussed on TBN among DK and other series owners. I've had the same experience from time to time on my Kubota B2150HST ever since it was new. I've just assumed, rightly or wrongly, that it's to be expected with the hydrostatic CUTs. No?

My Calibration light has never come on, BTW.

If his tractor comes to a dead stop on its own, blinking the CAL light, it is a ECU trying to tell the operator something. Our high, medium, neutral, low range gears are not synchronized and so it is normal to need to bump the transmission forward or back in order to allow the shift fork to slide and mesh the gears. As we wear in our gear boxes, this should become easier, but it will never be without the need to give the transmission a bump to mesh out of sync gears.

Thanks, Eric. Makes sense.

They get easier to go into different ranges as the hours rack up. I really can't remember when when I have had difficulty in the last year or so. My last Kubota was a little tough at first, but it slicked up after maybe 150 hours or so too. My DK is very slick now.
