New New Holland

[CausticUrbanCoast]

So I just went through the process and noted the following: All shifters in neutral, PTO disconnected, clutch depressed, and parking break on. turn key, 3 lights come on-parking break, oil, and battery. Nothing happens. Try again bounce seat for good measure. All dash lights light up, no start. Leaving key in on position, no lights or turn signals work, no horn. Only thing that works is the emergency flashers. Battery is charged.

Very difficult to access the wire connectors under the seat and other safety wires under there. May have to remove the seat. doesn't fold up like the old 40 hp tractors.

I'll have to load the dead tractor and haul it in to the dealer again. It's due for 50 hr. service, so I can at least justify the 2 hr. trip. So much for being a loyal New Holland customer.

Is it a diesel or gas tractor?

I am sympathetic to the problem - which probably stems from New Holland tractors being made by Turk Traktor in Ankara, Turkey. There are some countries renown for excellence in manufacturing - Japan, Germany. Turkey ain't one of 'em.

Purchased a 60 hp to replace a 20-year old 40 hp that had become unreliable due to electrical problems. I've got 54 hrs. on the new one and already have a second no start problem. This one appears to be related to the seat safety system. First time I jumped on the seat and it finally allowed it to start. Since then no luck with that action.

Anyone have a idea? It's an all day trip to the dealer. Wish I had not bought another New Holland.

You have to adjust the seat tension or put some lead in your ass. Or the best solution is to find someone that knows how to “bypass” that problem. When your warranty no longer exist you can fine tune that tractor to act like you want it to act. Wear your seat belt if you have a problem with staying in seat. Also under the clutch pedal (left foot floor rest is a bunch of wires / connections. Make sure they are not covered with dirt / mud or any connections being loose. New tractors have a lot of electronics. Greatest thing since brown sugar but when it quits working it is one more pain in the arse.

Sure hope it isnt simply a glow timer like dodge used to use.

NH has a history of crappy electrical systems. My 20+yo NH at work is a perfect example and my farmer neighbor said the exact same thing about his former NH.

No fancy electric on those machines.

Are you getting field service on your NH mini excavator?

Actually after I first got it They came out to do a couple things. Havnt really needed anything I couldnt handle myself

Recently (3 years later) I had a couple issues and needed a couple parts installed. I called and had them order parts. When the parts came in they called. If they were to come out I would have to set a date. My option would be if I would bring it in to them they would fix it right away while I was waiting.
Since we go to "town" about once a month I put it on the trailer and dropped it off while we were getting supplies. They called a couple hours later and it was done. Very nice people to work with.
The X has been pretty much flawless. Made in Italy

so... If I was stranded and they had to come right out....maybe I would have to pay travel time (2hrs) If it were at their convenience ...I dont know.

Likely not. They send out a truck to haul it in for $350. Been here before. I'm due for 50 hr. service, so will figure out how to load the dead tractor and haul it in to the dealer.

Remember first 50 hour service on New Holland (Workmaster 50/60/70) only requires oil change / filter and fuel filter change. That’s one of their bragging points of lower maintenance than others. 600 hours for hydraulic oil change / filter and next fuel filter change.
