NX6010 idle surging

[insurman]

New to the forum and have a question.

Bough the 6010 new March/2016. Has been a great machine...shredding, moving hay, front end loader, grapple (used prob more than anything), etc.. Currently has 75 hours on it.

So this weekend I move the tractor up by the house (in the shade) to attach a couple of bolts/nuts to the canopy. It ran fine to get it to there.. after climbing around on it with the wife's help moving all thru the cab I start it up to go shred. I get going and the power is just not there...in fact when I stopped one time it would idle..then surge up and down. I tried the throttle handle and it would do lower but could not get it to go higher.

After going thru my book I see the two levers below the seat...is it possible the wife or myself stepped on or this the turn control and put in low speed or is that just for the rear 3pt?

Fuel filter or something else....when I called the dealer he said it might need to do a regeneration? I am back in the city and won't be out there until Friday so I was not able to test that.

Thoughts?

Regen or fuel filter or both.

Just a guess..

Thanks..

Does your tractor have one or more rear remotes? If so, could you have moved a control lever out of the neutral position and into a detent position? If so, you would be "dead-heading" hydraulic flow until the over-pressure relief functions and loading the engine.
It could certainly be a fuel filter but the onset of problems was rather sudden for a filter issue.

No it does not..

Talked with dealer yesterday and he said most likely needs a manuel regen which I will do on Friday.

He said the same thing about the filter.

Thanks

Agree with others. It was a regen cycle running. Had me worried the first time it did it as well, thought something was wrong.

update...after getting back to the farm on Friday, the check engine light is on (which I did not see before) could not get it to do a manual regen. Service guy says he has to get it hooked up to reset a censor/codes. Indicated some of it will be under warranty. He is picking it up in the AM...will have him check everything over, do the regen, new O rings and a couple of other minor things...hope to have it back by Friday.

Really missed having it this past weekend....you don't realize how much you use it until you don't have it.

update #2...got it to the dealer, ended up being a bad throttle control lever. Also did a manual regen, checked everything over, replaced O rings, etc.. and it is getting dropped back off today. Looking forward to this weekend!

Thanks for following up here. Do you know why the lever failed? Kind of curious if there's something that folks can monitor to head off possible downtime.
